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- tances are measured in kilometres (km) and metres (m). One metre is approximately the length of a lonýg stride. One kilometre is 1000 metres or 5/8 mile (0. 625). (One mille = 1. 6 km) SAn easy way to familiarize yourself with kilometres is to consider the time factors involved -for exàmple, 80 km (50 miles) would take about 1 hour to drive at a speed of 80 km/Jh (50 mph) . Study the signs shown here and you'll get the picture quickly. To learn the systemfiaster, "think mnetric-don'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.
