The mph to km/h formula

Multiply miles per hour by 1.609344 to get kilometers per hour: km/h = mph × 1.609344. For example, 60 mph × 1.609344 = 96.56 km/h. Speed uses the same factor as distance, since both miles and kilometers measure length.

Common speed limits converted

30 mph is 48 km/h, 50 mph is 80 km/h, 60 mph is 97 km/h and 70 mph is 113 km/h. That is why a “100” on a European motorway sign (in km/h) is about 62 mph, not 100 mph.
