Today in another Forum I was discussing differences between Celsius and Fahrenheit as a scale for meauring temperatures.
While looking up links on Wikpedia I found this interesting site talking about the US and Metrication. Did you know that the US first committed to metrication back in 1875!
A link on that page took me to this site ( http://lamar.colostate.edu/~hillger/signs/index.html ) showing a range of roadsigns in the US that carry metric information.
While I have never been outside Australia I would guess that around the borders with both Canada and Mexico there might be joint signage and probably a few airports might have metric distances in cluded to help international visitors.
Maybe there are framily who have seen other examples?
