The speed limit signs on the entire bridge between Prescott, Ontario and Ogdensburg, New York are also only listed in MPH. All traffic signs on the Canadian side, before the bridge, are metric. I also crossed the Peace Bridge between Fort Erie, Ontario and Buffalo, New York last week, but I don't remember what the speed signs said. The Queenston-Lewiston Bridge (as well as the Rainbow Bridge) are managed by the Niagara Falls Bridge Commission http://www.niagarafallsbridges.com Stephen
