Yes. Puerto Rico uses the metric system officially, which was introduced during Spanish rule. Only the speed limit signs are indicated in miles per hour.

The reason why speed limit signs are in miles per hour, in otherwise almost fully metric Puerto Rico, is because most cars are imported from the United States and the speedometers are often indicated only in miles per hour.

I am born and raised in Puerto Rico. We mostly use the English system. Ask any Puerto Rican their weight and height, we use feet and pounds. The outside temperature is in fahrenheit. And speeds are in miles per hour.

However for body temperature we use celsius, as in fever of 40 degrees for some reason.
