Miles/KM and the rest? Don't think it matters at all, except cost to replace or move all those mile/yard road markings and signs. The UK ruled out a switch of roads once cost became apparent even as everything else has metricated and gained metric only legislation.
After 50 years of only metric in UK schools? We've mostly switched most of the time, and I'm amazed we're not there yet! You still often hear people referring to temperatures by Fahrenheit decade (50s, 80s etc) though I can't remember the last time I saw a forecast ever use F. Everyone still seems to think of their height or weight in imperial. Beer comes in pints. There's a few other strange holdouts.
