Most all interstate > freeways had metric speed limit signs installed, No country on earth has ever used metric speed limits or metric speedometers on automobiles. The US uses traditional units (miles per hour) and some other countries use a mixture of metric and traditional units (kilometers per hour). I think aircraft still use *nautical* miles per hour. AFAIK, among transportation technologies, only spacecraft use actual metric units (meters per second). This has always been a peeve of mine.
