Only where there is no lower speed limit posted!
If it was a "national speed limit" (as I said), then it's pretty unlikely to be anything else................“I may not agree with you, but I will defend to the death your right to make an a** of yourself.”

We need to wait for the OP to come back and tell us the make and model of the 'small van' he was driving at the time of the alleged offence."You were only supposed to blow the bl**dy doors off!!"0

Wonder if the van was a Yaris with no rear brakes.. Or an Audi A3 S Line with all the s line bites replaced with SE items.. Or a Lexus IS250...0

Thats the definition of a dual carriageway. The number of lanes is irrelevant. Dual refers to the presence of two carriageways/roads, not two lanes.Strider590 wrote: »The national speed limit is 70 on any road where the opposing lanes are physically separated. EVEN if there's only one lane in each direction.Changing the world, one sarcastic comment at a time.0 -
I'd never considered that.
Google says:dual carriageway
noun BRITISH
a road with a dividing strip between the traffic in opposite directions and usually two or more lanes in each direction.0 -

If you want to see a complex version of applying that drive on the A456 into Kidderminster. It was an extremely bendy two lane dual carriageway, but they have painted out some sections into single lane. It has some limited stretches and some NSL. Though singled out some sections remain 70mph (60mph for vans - so no ability to pass when following one abiding by the legal speed*).I'd never considered that.

BTW the limit is 60 for dual carriageways and 70 for motorways.
Not for a car it isn't, if there is a metal Armco dividing the carriageways on a dual carriageway it's 70mph for cars unless otherwise stated , no Armco then it's 60mph0 -
Where in Highway code is this !!!!!!!! about Armco.
Nice work for trademark owner!!!0
