60mph
Mile per minute
Sixty miles per hour, a common way of expressing speed in countries using imperial measurements.
In the US and UK, 60mph is roughly highway speed—fast enough to feel the wind, slow enough to be legal on most roads.
Speed limits, car specifications, and wind velocities all use this format: The storm brought winds of 60mph.
The abbreviation mph means miles per hour.
