"but everyone was too excited by hidden kilometers on UK position signs" - LOL! That speaks volumes! Thanks for a great quote! Back to the US - Isn't there something going on with those metric signs you have all mentioned before? ie - that some people have asked them to stay? (locals). It might be 'deleted' in some rules but hasn't local opinion thrown up a few proponents? This is what I like the most - when 'people power' steers what happens (that's why I really don't like the attempted metrication of the UK and would recommend the US not take the same route).

The latest (2009) MUTCD has deleted metric dimensioning of signs. Well it is "hiding" in an appendix, but you'd have to do some work to dig it out. Metric messages for the signs have been entirely deleted. I suspect the few existing metric signs will revert to USC units when they are up for replacement. I remarked on this in another message, but everyone was too excited by hidden kilometers on UK position signs.

"Perhaps we could steer this more towards the use of imperial or metric on roads in the USA which - after all - is what this listserver is meant to be representing (even if the occasional glimpse of 'how others do it' adds some interest to the debate)." _________________________________________________________________ Send us your Hotmail stories and be featured in our newsletter http://clk.atdmt.com/UKM/go/195013117/direct/01/
