- W636612063 abstract "The most controversial aspect of metric conversion is that which affects the public--signage. Conversion of highway signs to metric will undoubtedly be met with strong public opposition, which is based primarily on the fact that people do not want to learn a new system. This article reports on the shelving of metric signage until a transition strategy can be determined. The Federal Highway Administration proposed three options earlier that were published for comment. Those options were: 1) convert to metric over a 4- to 7-year period through routine sign replacement; 2) convert quickly in a 6-month to 1-year effort, establishing priority order, such as high-volume roads first, then low-volume roads, etc.; and 3) use a two-phased approach that would entail dual posting of metric and English units and then later eliminating the English. Public education and acceptance, federal dollars to fund signage conversion, and state control in the conversion process are discussed." @default.
