	Dual carriageway - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A dual carriageway or divided highway is a road or highway in which the two directions of traffic are separated by a central barrier or strip of land, known as a central reservation or median.
		Different speed limits apply on dual carriageway sections from those that apply on single carriageway sections of the same class of road, except in cities and built-up areas where the dual carriageway is more of a safety measure, often intended to prevent pedestrians from crossing a busy road.
		Roundabouts on dual carriageways are relatively common, especially in cities or where the cost of a grade-separated junction would be prohibitive.

		Official figures indicate that the dual carriageway section of the A40 between Carmarthen and St Clears is more dangerous than the single lane section from St Clears to Haverfordwest.

		The term dual carriageway simply refers to a road where there is a physical separation between streams of traffic travelling in opposite directions.
		On dual carriageways cars are allowed to travel at speeds up to 70 mph so you can imagine the difficulty in judging potential gaps in the traffic that you need when emerging from a junction to turn right or left onto a dual carriageway or when you cross a carriageway to turn right.
		If possible, when a slip road is available to leave a dual carriageway you should try to avoid reducing your speed until you have entered the slip road.
