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.

tive booklet "Ontario Roads Go
Metric" from any Ministry of
Transportation and Communications
office or LCBO outlet in Ontario.
