Change distance units in road transport from miles to kilometres

Change distance units in road transport from miles to kilometres — 40 signatures. Status: open.

Petition background

We want the Government to change distance units from imperial (yards and miles) to metric (metres and kilometres), because we think using two different sets of units is more work in the long run, and metric distances are easier to work with.

Additional details

The vast majority of the rest of the world use the metric system
