All I can suggest is that people have gone to some lengths to justify
having a car that can only travel at 3 mph around town, rather then 30
mph (ie 5 vs 50 kph).

Both "kph" and "km/h" are common abbreviations for "kilometers per
hour".  Were you not familiar with "kph"?

No. Must be a convention depending on cultural context of locality.
("kph", if anything, is "kilopond-hour, per standard.)

So thanks for pointing that out. (I forget sometimes that in some
countries there's a reluctance using the [established] standards,
and I certainly don't know about all the cultural peculiarities of
the [many] existing countries, even if they are as dominating as
the USA is [or other English speaking or influenced countries].)

We're used to the SI units and metric form, although hereabouts
some folks also (informally, but wrongly) pronounce it as "k-m-h".
