On 4 April 2023, YouGov carried out a survey of 4808 British adults about changing the rules around speed and distance in the UK from miles to kilometres. It revealed insights on different attributes based on region, politics, and age.
YouGov asked survey participants the following question:
“Would you support or oppose changing the rules around speed and distance in the UK (e.g. road signs, speed limits etc) from being based on miles to being based on kilometres?”
Overall, 22% supported the change from miles to kilometres while 62% opposed it.
I think part of the poor support for metrication was due to the wording of the question. Would a question like "Would you support a change from miles and miles per hour to kilometres and kilometres per hour for signs and speed limits on roads?" have got a better result?
