Driving Abroad: Reading Speed Limits
If your car shows mph and you drive in a km/h country, divide the posted limit by 1.6: a 100 km/h sign means about 62 mph, and 50 km/h is about 31 mph. Most dashboards in mph markets also show a smaller km/h scale. A phone speedometer can display either unit — open the km/h speedometer for trips abroad.
