It's a mix
In the countryside it's generally imperial only.
Busy towns tend to be both imperial/metric.
But there seem to be no hard rules (so you will see imperial only dimension
signs in central London, for example)
Interestingly international motorway routes can be imperial or both - you might
expect both on this application. I say interstingly because when motorways are
being improved they tend to squeeze lanes to make space for work. Where these
lanes are restriced in width they commonly show imperial only (say, 6' 6") with
no metric. I would have thought that these signs were more for lorries
(trucks) and on an international route those lorries could be a real mix of UK
and European.> Date: Thu, 24 Jul 2008 08:42:56 +0100> From: [EMAIL PROTECTED]>
