As far as I know, the law still stands encouraging states to metricate
their highway departments. All that Fritz Hollings changed in his TEA
bill was to remove the deadline date for accomplishing that.

So, the states still have the option of putting up metric-only road
signs for speed limits and distances? Sure hope so!

This is a metrication bill, signs and gas included(grin). But, yes, a
statement on the 1988 act should be added to the bill. Thanks, Phil.

It would be nice if the bill made mention of the fact that Congress
has already declared SI to be the preferred system of measurement
for the U.S. Also, it would be nice if there was a mention of
highway signs and gasoline sales.

I'm going to try to gain more support for this bill. It's one
that could set the country on a faster path to usage of SI
