That is a bad idea. It would only annoy, distract or confuse. In Canada every speed limit sign in the country was changed to km/h over the Labour Day week end of 1977 by the simple expedient of slapping a decal over the MPH signs. Permanent km/h signs were installed over the next few years. Distance signs were changed over 1977 and 1978.> > Joseph B, Reid
The Canadian Metric Association urged that Canada should adopt the international road signs, but to no avail. However the compromise that the government adopted saved the expense of replacing square signs with round ones.
