This is garbage. How is it a decision of the people, if all official signs and communications are about Miles?

Last time i checked you were mandated to have Miles per hour readings in the dashboard to even be able to sell your car in the US. how is that choice as the article says?




Of all the things we need to spend Billions of dollars on, it isn't a move to change numbers on road signs and create mass confusion.

Like QWERTY, imperial units work fine enough for most people despite advantages of other systems.


There's a strip of road just east of Santa Fe around Glorieta which has signage in metric. I always figured it existed solely for the purpose of being brought up in discussions like these. A really odd and pointless thing.
