Keep in mind the effort to convert the State DOT's to metric was for design only. The issue of metric sinage was tabled years before the "official" metric conversion deadline (which was subsequently removed). As of now only a few States are still metric (NY being one of them) and I hope we can hold out. I don't see signs changing for a long long time.

I just had a look at the law regarding metric speed and distance signs in the US. It seems that the law allows metric signs but doesn't require them. It also sounds that the law doesn't require states to spend any money on constructing metric signs. I guess metric signs are legal but that's as far as it goes. I know a lot of state departments of transportations have changed back to imperial measurements. Unfortunately this is a big step backwards.
