There's no change of "unit" when going from km to m or ml to L, etc. It's just the next "size" up or down, we immediately know 500m is half a km.

I know it's not actually a unit change, but in my head there's a resistance to changing the scale.

If one sign says 5km, I expect the next sign to say 0.5km, not 500m.
