Maybe. But if I've got the right person, she famously

Are you familiar with CGI technology in motion pictures?

My use of the plural "signs" could easily be an invalid generalization from that single observation.

2) Perhaps it was a test case ... that there were at that time a few metric speed limit signs on certain highways? ... perhaps they were placed alongside mile-per-hour signs? Indeed, that might be why I remember that sign but not others.

this is a couple of weeks old, but I've only just spotted it:
