2 OF THEM ARE BUS LANES SO DON'T COUNT
DO NOT CONTRADICT ME AFTER A NEAR DEATH EXPERIENCE. COSSET AND COMFORT ME AND TELL ME YOUR LIFE WOULDN'T HAVE BEEN THE SAME WITHOUT ME AND GENERALLY VALIDATE MY EXISTENCE VIA THE MEDIUM OF THE INTERNET.

or i will shout.

Practice makes perfect.
I spent the weekend pandering to a fawn, and fawning over a panda.

Yup
Dual carriageways can have any number of lanes.

The dual bit refers to the fact that there are 2 distinct carriageways separated by a central reservation. The carriageways can have any number of lanes.

I've been on dual carriageways with only one lane in each direction. Likewise, I've been on single carriageways with 2 lanes in each direction.

Indeed
Which is why you should pay extra attention to the National Speed Limit signs if the rozzers are out on one of these roads... 2 lane single carriageway (4 lanes total) at national speed limit is 60, 1+ lane on a dual carriageway is 70 on a national speed limit...

It still frustrates me that people can't seem to learn this coming out of Edinburgh Airport... which is a national limit... 2 lane, dual carriageway... and they do 60! Grrr!
