Metric signs seen on roads in the U.S. |
(Note: The Arizona Department of Transportation had said that the signs would go back to miles when they needed to be replaced, and on 3 March 2009 the Arizona State Transportation Board approved a project to replace the roughly 30-year-old signs on the stretch of I-19 from the Mexican border to I-10 in Tucson. The kilometer posts and the large signs giving distances in kilometers will be replaced.)

Metric distance signs on I-19 between Tucson and Nogales AZ. I-19 from Pima County/Santa Cruz County Line to Jct. I-10 (kilometer 48 to 100) is the only route in Arizona to be signed in kilometers instead of mileposts. Top image courtesy of David Steinberg. The lower two metric signs were provided by Harry Wyeth and were included in the 2003 Sep/Oct issue of Metric Today.
