Okay: https://www.researchgate.net/figure/a-Typical-multi-lane-hig https://www.researchgate.net/figure/a-Typical-multi-lane-hig... . There's a highway exit coming up in 800 feet and another in 1/2 mile. How many times longer does it take to reach the second exit compared to the first exit? You have no clue. In metric it's 250 m and 800 m, and it obviously takes about 3 times longer to reach the second exit. I’m having a hard time seeing this as much of a problem in daily life. That sounds more like a word problem in math class than something someone would want to typically calculate on the fly. And my sense of how far something at a given distance is in the car is informed more by experience and intuitive sense than measurement.
