Petition Change the units used in road transport from imperial to metric

Change national speed limits to kilometres per hour, change all road signage to kilometres from miles and from yards to metres. This will bring the UK in line with most of the rest of the world in using metric units.

More details

Standardising units in line with other local countries will help reduce confusion for visitors to the UK. UK exceptionalism does not help with road safety.
