I would imagine you could only class it as a dual carriageway in the very loose sense of the word!

...but a dual carriageway isn't automatically a national speed limit road and, surely, it's only when governed by NSL that a dual carriageway is any different to a single carriageway - ie 70mph rather than 60mph is it not


I never said it was Wink

If a tunnel is part of a 30mph road, why would anybody think it has a higher speed limit when going through it unless indicated?

You missed my point about the fact that if you exit the airport (presumably having come from some other place in the world with no local knowledge) you go straight into this tunnel with no chance to see any signs or assess lamp posts.
Also, I dispute that it's a loose sense of the word dual carriageway when the 2 carriageways (2 lanes each side, 4 lanes in total) are separated by a concrete wall so that you cannot even see the other side. That seems to me to be very much a dual carriageway. 90% of people driving through that tunnel, unless they know otherwise, would believe it to have a higher limit than 30.


Coming from another country is no defence for breaking the speed limit.

I don't believe for one minute that you get in your car and are immediatley confronted with a tunnel, there must be an approach road to the tunnel.

So which airline transports cars then, all these drivers that have no local knowledge?

Just because it is four lanes with a barrier doesn't mean it's 70mph, otherwise driving down Park Lane would be much more fun Wink

(Yes I know Park Lane has six lanes)

OK, that's enough now, this has drifted way off topic with little sign of it drifting back on.

Thread locked.
