What gets me about sign changing, is...whatever
happened to the DOT requirement that cars must be
sold with both km/h and mph on the speedo?
Mercedes over the past 3-4 years seems to be
getting away without it...they are mph only it looks like.
I know GM has numbers only with a legend that
switches between mph and km/h, but the Mercedes
cars look to be mph only all the time. Makes
for a suck time when driving to Canada I'm sure.
My wife's old Honda Civic (I hated that car.) had
both mph and km/h markings, but only MPH
illuminated at night. Talk about a bozo design
feature right there..... I tried to talk you out
of the Honda again Nat, but to no avail. :)

The NIST has drafted legislation to provide

If ALL people would contact their
Congressional representatives, then perhaps
something would happen. No single organization
can do it alone. However, most companies want
to go metric and many already have gone metric like the auto industry has.
With the current stimulus bill recently
passed and it's called a jobs bill, it would be
appropriate to have all road signs changed to metric very quickly.
