No, just US -- it's part of the failed attempt to metricate our
country.  Notice how easy the km/h markings are to read -- NOT!

Around the same time they started doing this, there was a short period when
US speedometers didn't read over 85 mph...and a short period when you
couldn't start your car if all heavy objects in the front seats weren't
belted in (and occasionally not then).
