Oh, my observation is that in the US, odometers (distance measures in 
the dashboard) read in tenths of miles, permanent signs are in halves 
and quarters of miles (as in, "next exit 2 1/2 miles") and temporary 
signs are in thousands of feet (as in "road construction 2000 feet").

That *does* make it a bit difficult to figure out wtf is going on. :-)
