70mph, as long as there's a barrier between the carriageway.

Without a barrier it's not a dual carriageway.

For a robin reliant that would be about 10mph

Four lane highway then, if we're traveling down the pedantic carriageway...

Yea I didn't think I had to delve into that level of pedantry.

Clearly in was wrong.

Add in it is a normal car, with a standard license no vehicle based restrictions, no road works, no crashed cars, no overturned fish oil lorries, no speed bumps, no temporary speed limits, no small woodland critters having a picnic etc.

Just got this from gov.com

A dual carriageway is a road which has a central reservation to separate the carriageways.

Notice, no mention of a barrier

I and half the people on my speed awareness course thought it was 60, so it was great that they made me and my fellow speeders aware that we could actually drive faster.

Nope a 4 lane Highway with no barrier in between is not a dual carriageway. A 2 lane highway with a barrier in between is. It's a common misconception. Wasn't trying to be pedantic matey.

Central

70 mph, unless any indication to the contrary. I see some sit at 60, who must be concerned about the speeding that those they're trying, unsuccessfully to overtake.

easyest way to know if it dual carraigeway or not is can you roll a ball (any fucking ball )from the curb on one side to the curb on the far side of the opposite direction without it hitting an obstruction (barrier embankment fence wall banking curb etc ) if you can its a single carriegeway road no matter how many lanes it has if you cant its a dual carraigeway no matter how many lanes it has simple

It is legal to drive a mobility scooter on a dual carriageway but the advice is to have it fitted with a flashing yellow light.

I think most people know it is legal, but from a safety point of view ????

I think it probably depends on how much you've had to drink. If I'd had a skinfull, I'd be driving much faster than normal so I'm home quicker and as a result, less of a danger to other road users.

"So let's see normally about 50% of people get this wrong so without any googling or asking a friend

Standard psssinger car, 60 mph unless there is a barrier on the central reservation or the reservation is 12 feet or more in width at which point the limit is 70.(Or as posted, of course)

Of course that is assuming the dual carrage way is outside a built up area. If not then if there are street lights then it is 30, if different then the alternative limit will be signex on entry and the on every other lampost, untill it returns to 30.

If there is no central reservation then it is not a dual carriageway all the answers are here...

Any vehicles can be on a dual carriageway. Restricted vehicles such as anything under 125cc (I think) can't go on motorways.

There's a road near me which is duel carriageway n before the last junction before it turns into a motorway there's a sign saying this

LGV national speed limits were raised a couple of weeks ago. 50 on single carriageway, 60 on dual carriageway.
