Ireland changed to metric speed limits on 20 Jan 2005. They say: ******************************************************** http://www.gometric.ie/detailedinfo.html Over 58,000 metric speed limit signs will be erected by the local authorities in a short period prior to 20th January involving replacement of 35,000 existing speed limit signs and provision of 23,000 new signs. The total cost of this changeover is estimated to be Ä11.5 million - Ä9.0m for signs and Ä2.5m for the public information campaign. ********************************************************
