feet/inches special - see description Feet and inches as used on older roadsigns in the UK (newer ones are marked in both metric and feet/inches - in this case it is suggested the metric value be used). The format is nn'mm" where nn is an integer number of feet and mm is an integer number of inches between 0 and 11. e.g. 12'0" or 16'6". Conversion to m is done by multiplying the feet by 12, adding the inches, then multiplying that result by 0.0254
