This is how tolearnthe system. MPH MPH Speed signs MAXIMUM 50 XI MPH • km/h MPH Distance sign (changeover already in effect) NIAGARA 85 WINDSOR 330 It's a very-easy system; and most countries around the :world already use it. Ontario and other provinces are adopting it under a Canada- wide plan approved by Metric Commission Canada. Speed limits are measured in kilometres per hour (km/h), Dis- tarices are measured in kilometres (km) and metres (m). One metre is approximately the length of a long stride. One kilometre is 1000 metres or 5/8 mile (0.625)." (One mile =1.6 km ) An easy way to farriiliatize yourself with kilometres is to consider • the time factors involved—for exainple, 80 km (50 miles) would take about t hour to driVt at a speed of 80 km/h (50 mph). Study the 6ignsghowti here and you'll get the picture quickly. To learn the system faster, "think metric"7-7don't convert back to the old Imperial unit of miles. And to 'measure, your gas consumption in kilometres per gallon, divide the number of kilometres travelled by the number of gallons used.
