I spent 25 years with the State of Alaska as a drafting tech/cartographer preparing plans and maps of highway projects. In March of 1992 George Bush I issued an executive order that all FHWA funded road jobs shall be done using the metric system. We spent two years working with that garbage until Newt and the boys said "forget it" in 1994.
If not for that, every mileage sign in our country would currently be in kilometers.
