Gridlock works! I am happy, but I also realize it is insignificant in the bigger picture. Even having or not having metric signage defined in the MUTCD is insignificant in the absence of a time-bounded plan to actually GO metric. Congress destroyed the plan and legislated against any new plan circa 1995, with regards to roads.

Since they couldn't decide exactly how to do it, they are not going to do it at all. Metric sign replacement on I-19 has been indefinitiely postponed, and the funds committed to another project. http://www.azstarnet.com/news/local/article_d7dec8f6-26f5-11df-b567-001cc4c03286.html ________________________________ Got a cool Hotmail story?
