kph

Speedometer's metric letters

Kph is an abbreviation for kilometers per hour, a unit of speed used in most countries outside the United States.

Speed limits, vehicle speedometers, and weather reports in metric-system countries typically use kph rather than mph.

The highway speed limit is 120 kph.

The abbreviation may also be written km/h in more technical contexts.
