Lots of them in Ontario have the units posted and there are a number of
large signs posted just where a visitor leaves customs on the Canadian
side of the border which disclose this and list the equivalent speeds
in both units. I have seen these signs at Lewiston/Niagara-on-the-Lake,
Buffallo/Fort Erie, Detroit/Windsor (in the tunnel) and Port
Huron/Sarnia, over the course of the last 20 years. This ain't new....
