I only suggested dual labelling because most Americans will whine and complain if the old units are phased out entirely. My experience with whining and complaining in politics is that the status quo always get maintained - and that is certainly NOT a step in the right directionBut then, there is the factor of confusion in speed limits. Perhaps if the kilometer speeds were set slightly faster than their US equivalent, people would take them to heart. Johnathan McClure
Canadian speed limits generally were converted is accordance with that principle.
25 MPH became 40 km/h
30 MPH became 50 km/h
40 MPH became 70 km/h
50 MPH became 80 km/h
60 MPH became 100 km/h
70 MPH became 110 km/h
There may have been exceptions to that table to correct local conditions.
