[USMA:31014] Re: Irish speed limit signs

[Phil Chernack]

The FHWA has indeed adopted a speed limit sign *similar* to the international standard.  The idea was to distinguish the metric speed limit sign from the non-metric one.  The disappointing aspect is that the circle is black rather than red.   http://mutcd.fhwa.dot.gov/HTM/2003/part2/fig2b-01_longdesc.htm   From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Euric Sent: Saturday, September 04, 2004 8:25 PM To: U.S. Metric Association Subject: [USMA:31011] Re: Irish speed limit signs   I would think that means 30 km/h.  The international signage system should specify the strict use of metric units if the signs are to be used.    I doubt the US would adopt these type of signs.  Canada didn't, but should have, to distinguish the use of metric from FFU.   Euric ----- Original Message ----- From: John Woelflein To: U.S. Metric Association Sent: Saturday, 2004-09-04 18:04 Subject: [USMA:31009] Irish speed limit signs   The signs used at present (for mph) are in the "international" style.
