Kilometres per hour (km/h) is a widely used metric unit of speed, especially on roads and highways around the world. Interestingly, despite its global prevalence, the U.S. primarily uses miles per hour. However, km/h is the standard for most countries, offering a glimpse into global unity as it’s part of the International System of Units (SI). The history of speed limits tied to km/h is quite fascinating. The first speed limit laws, introduced in the United Kingdom in the 19th century, regulated horse-drawn carriages, long before motor vehicles were common. Today, km/h aids not only in measuring speed but also in showcasing technological advancements in transportation engineering as speeds increase with improved vehicle designs.
