	Dual carriageway - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		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.
		Newer dual carriageway sections are usually near motorway standard, with grade-separated junctions, but may not be designated as motorways due to the frequency of junctions (necessitating the lower speed limit).

	12, Dual Carriageways
		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.
		The term dual carriageway simply refers to a road where there is a physical separation between streams of traffic travelling in opposite directions.
		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.
