Hello All, Last week I drove from Fairbanks, Alaska down to Palmer (about 60 km north of Anchorage) for several equine experiential learning (EEL) sessions.
Along the highway and in the various communities, I noticed a large number of road signs that gave distances to locations in decimal miles, which is unusual in the US. Interestingly, they did not give the units (miles, of course) that one almost always sees on other road distance signs which use fractional miles (Example: "Exit 1/2 Mile"). These signs read like: "Campground 1.2" and "Post Office 0.6". If US motorists can comfortably use decimal road distance signs, then kilometer road distance signs using the same format will also be readily understandable to them. -- Jason
