Hi
No, that road is a single carriageway and if a national spped limit applies it would be 40mph. A dual carriageway must have a physical barrier between you and the oncoming traffic. It actually forms 2 separate roads.
In this picture the road just has 2 lanes coming towards you.
Question to make you think
When is it ok to cross to centre white line ?
Should keep the thread going for a while

Nope - 40 for HGV - classed as a single carriageway - like the A556 that links the M6 and the M56 - it has both this type and dual - you just need to be aware of which bit ends where - the old bill love sitting along there pulling up the trucks that do 50 -
i think the definition of a dual carriageway is - it says it is and it has a meridian - of strip of grass/crash barrier serperating the on coming traffic
cheers

Nope, that’s a 3 lane single carriageway.
To be a dual carriageway it has to have at least 2 lanes in both directions and have a central reservation. This can be just about anything except white paint. Doesn’t have to be a crash barrier.
Hope that helps, Pete 
PS THERE’S A BIG MISTAKE IN THIS. MY FAULT. SHOOT ME NOW!!!

Complete nonsense, and from a driving instructor. 
The number of lanes has no bearing on whether a road is a single or dual carriageway, it can be a dual carriageway with just one lane on each carriageway. 
And I’ll hold my hands up to that one!!
Can we blame it on stress from the wedding combined with old age - - - - please■■?

I think we can. I myself have been suffering strange feelings after seeing Kate’s sister at the wedding yesterday, although it has made me feel young and frisky again.

LOL
if you can roll a ball across the road without it stopping its a sc if there is a barrier (can be grass barrier or raised curb but if the ball stops rolling there is a central reservation !)to stop the ball rolling then you have dc thats what I was told in a speed awareness course 
yes have had a heavy right foot n got caught!!!
jx
Sorry to hear you got caught. I have been lucky not to today but will definitely need to drop my speed.
Thanks for clearing this up.

Anyone wanna hazard a guess where this was taken? No cheating lol
No takers then?
A358. The road splits on lots of occasions but nowhere is there a physical central reservation so came back at 40 (much to the annoyance of the queue behind me).
But then it’s my license that I worked hard to gain and don’t want to be losing it because of a few extra miles per hour.

I would assume the answer to this is to overtake a broken down vehicle. But I could be wrong

You can cross the centre white line (if it is clear) to pass a stationary obstruction or a slow moving obstruction such as a horse or magnatit

On a motorbike fitted with a small angled plate

Well, yeah, obviously 
So going back to coffeholic’s photo, as this is a dual carriage with only one lane in each direction, is the limit for HGV’s 40 or 50?
Interesting post, learnt something today! 
Cheers, Nez

It’s a dual carriageway, the number of lanes doesn’t alter the speed limit, so if it is signposted as national speed limit then it will be 50 for a truck just as it is on 2, 3 and 4 lane dual carriageways.
I expect someone will be along shortly to throw the A38M into the mix, it usually happens on these type of threads, but that’s a different kettle of fish being a single carriageway motorway.
