Did you know

Many drivers think that a dual carriageway is a road with two lanes. The number of lanes has nothing to do with a road being a dual carriageway,it may have three lanes or just one. The definition of a dual carriageway is a road that is seperated from oncoming traffic by a centre reservation ,ie a raised kerb on the right hand side of the road. Many motorists are caught speeding in the national speed limit (60mph) because they think they are on a dual carriageway (70 mph)
