US and Israel are the only places that still use Imperial. While older generations in Canada and UK will speak about weight in Imperial, the official unit system is Metric.

The UK still uses miles for vehicle speed and road signs

That's strange. I would have thought with proximity to the EU the UK would have all metric signs like Canada.

US and Israel are the only places that still use Imperial.

But the US has a global business empire. So you'll see the Imperial/Metric conversions all over the planet.
