[edit] Only town?

The statement "Nogales, Mexico is the only town to have the same name as its U.S. counterpart." would be incorrect, unless you clarify by adding "on the US-Mexico border". Niagara Falls, Ontario has the same name as its US counterpart, Niagara Falls, New York.

[edit] Only Town? Revisited

Another same name pair exists on the US/Mexico border. This is Tecate, CA and Tecate, BC. Tecate, CA is very small but exists. It is about 30 miles east of San Diego and Tijuana.

[edit] ADOT & Metrication

Exactly which person or what office at ADOT is the source of the information posted as to why I-19 has metric signing? RCMoeur, 22:42 MST 25 Mar 2006

[edit] Were metric speed limits ever posted?

I had often heard that in the 1970s the speed limit signs in I-19 were posted in km/hr, leading to the inevitable confusion of half-soused drivers returning from carousing in Nogales. Is this true? The article says that distances were posted in metric but not speeds; was this always so? ==ILike2BeAnonymous 00:14, 4 April 2006 (UTC)

As far as I can tell, speed limit signs on I-19 have never been posted in km/hr. I was not able to find any information about this being the case. I also used to live in Tucson and I never heard about that being the case. Nebular110 22:23, 24 May 2006 (UTC)
