CA has been doing it for a few decades. I don't know which counties, but seen often in the northern half.
Recently spotted in Kentucky (quite surprising).
Possibly FL and AZ only because my memory is fading.

Hmmmm. I live in NoCal and have been riding here for a couple of decades. I've ridden in all 58 counties in California, and regularly ride in NoCal. I've never seen a speed limit posted in KPH here; not on a highway, a county road, a city street...anywhere.
Not saying you're wrong. I just haven't seen such a thing here.
I would often visit the Silicon Valley area and noticed them back in the '90s into the mid-2000s. I just assumed CA - particularly that area of CA was more forward-looking given the concentration of technology. The counties would have been in more "rural" areas, but cannot remember where. In any case, thought nothing of it after the first time.
The U.S. feds approved the use of metric speed signage back in '75, but left it up to jurisdictions to implement, if they wished.
Is it possible the signage was rounded up and reverted to the antiquated imperial-based system? (if so, that would have been so seemingly un-Californian)
