[USMA:22861] Re: Am I a US Citizen - Circles in signs

[Johnathan McClure]

International sign?  Look - there will be enough fuss about turning over to km/h.  Getting the signs to be primarily metric will be hard enough.  We don't need to be introducing weird (at least to Americans) concepts like numbers in circles for speed limits.  It says right there on the sign, "Speed Limit."  Simple enough.   Now the tack-on sign for MPH is a good idea and would work just as well.   Here you go -   --------------- |  S P E E D  | |  L I M I T  | |             | |  *     **   | |  *  * *  *  | |  **** *  *  | |     * *  *  | |     *  **   | |             | ---------------      |2 5|          |MPH|         -----     ----- Original Message ----- From: G.
