In the UK, the maximum speed limit for cars on a dual carriageway is typically 70 mph (113 km/h). For motorcycles, the limit is the same, while for vans and minibuses, it is also 70 mph, although some larger vehicles may have lower limits. Speed limits can vary by country, so it's important to check local regulations. Always adhere to posted signs, as they may indicate different limits based on specific conditions.
This is a Ditloid. The answer is, 70 = National Speed Limit on a Dual Carriageway.
The maximum speed that a vessel will achieve relative to ground is its own maximum speed through water plus the speed of the the moving water downstream.
"The maximum speed limit on the freeway is 70mph."
It usually is, as in maximum speed or maximum occupancy. But it can be a noun, meaning a maximum value or number, as in math or astronomy (the solar maximum).
Visibility does not depend on speed.
They don't ! Maximum speed on a dual carriageway is 60mph - Motorways is 70mph.
This is a Ditloid. The answer is, 70 = National Speed Limit on a Dual Carriageway.
the answer is 30mph
On a dual carraigeway with National Speed limit signs (a white circle with a diagonal black stripe) the limit for cars and commercial vehicles up to 7.5 Tonnes is 70 mph. There are lots of conditions that apply to this statement, so don't expect this answer to cover all possibilities.
A dual carriageway will probably have traffic lights, roundabouts and other road features similar to normal roads so cannot be a motorway. Also, a motorway has to have a hard shoulder as well.
Poole is a massive city on the south coast but has no motorway! There are a few short stretches of dual carriageway and loads of speed cameras. The nearest motorway is the M27 in Southampton.

Unless specifically stated by a sign, the speed limits for cars are: Motorway: 70 MPH Dual Carriageway: 70 MPH Single Carriageway: 60 MPH Built up areas: 30 MPH (in towns, villages etc) Other vehicle types such as trucks and buses have their own speed limits.
As of recent data, there are approximately 3,500 miles of dual carriageway in the UK, excluding motorways. Dual carriageways are designed for faster traffic and typically feature two lanes in each direction, separated by a central reservation. The network continues to expand as infrastructure projects are implemented to improve road safety and efficiency.
The set standard lane width for dual carriageways and motorways is 3.65 metres. The set standard width for hard shoulders is 3.3 metres.
A motorway is a high-capacity roadway designed specifically for fast-moving traffic, featuring multiple lanes, no intersections, and restricted access points. In contrast, a dual carriageway consists of two separate roadways for opposing traffic, often with limited access, but can include intersections and may allow for lower speed limits. Motorways typically have stricter regulations, such as prohibiting certain vehicles and requiring a higher minimum speed. Overall, motorways prioritize safety and efficiency for long-distance travel, while dual carriageways provide a balance between traffic flow and local accessibility.
The maximum speed limit in a rural area can vary by location and country. In the United States, for example, it is typically around 55-70 mph on rural highways and interstates. It is important to be aware of and follow the posted speed limit signs in the area you are driving.
