Abandon plans to move to the Metric Measurement system

The Issue

The Department for Transport have released a report showing that they wish to move to having both Imperial and Metric measurements on all UK Height and Width signs.

Please sign the petition to stop the DfT changing a system that is not broke.

This will lead to confusion for motorists on UK Roads, and could cause more acccidents. 

I am calling on the DfT to abandon all plans for this and to keep our existing imperial measurements. 

This is a slippery slope and could result in distance signs being changed from Miiles to Kilometres. 

Leading Transport experts are already saying this will cause confusion.
