In the United States, due to vehicles being larger on average than some other countries, [4] a parking space 10 feet (3.0 m) deep is uncommon and most parking spaces will be within 16 to 20 feet (4.9–6.1 m), with 19 feet (5.8 m) feet deep being the standard DOT recommended depth for standard perpendicular parking.
The standard railway track gauge, fixed at 4 feet 8 + 1 ⁄ 2 inches (1,435.1 mm) in 1845, [94] was redefined as 1,435 mm [95] – a nominal decrease of 0.1 mm but within the engineering tolerances. Motorway marker posts used by road maintenance teams and emergency services demarcate locations in multiples of 100 m. [ 96 ]
Typically, a small British single garage is 8 by 16 feet (2.4 m × 4.9 m), a medium single garage is 9 by 18 feet (2.7 m × 5.5 m), and a large single garage is 10 by 20 feet (3.0 m × 6.1 m). Family sedans have become bigger than they were in the past, so the larger size has become a preferred option.

Canned beer in Canada is sold and labelled in 355 mL cans (12.5 imperial fl oz), and when exported to the United States, they are labelled as 12 fl oz.

A non-primary road sign near Bristol shows Guildford Rules patches.Road signs in the United Kingdom and in its associated Crown dependencies and overseas territories conform broadly to European design norms, with a number of exceptions: direction signs omit European route numbers, and road signs generally use the imperial system of units (miles and yards), unlike the rest of Europe (kilometres ...
Metric units are units based on the metre, gram or second and decimal (power of ten) multiples or sub-multiples of these. According to Schadow and McDonald, [ 1 ] metric units, in general, are those units "defined 'in the spirit' of the metric system, that emerged in late 18th century France and was rapidly adopted by scientists and engineers.
