NSL - 60 or 70mph
Discussion
If you are on a dual carriageway and driving a car or motorcycle the national limit is 70 mph. If you are on a single carriageway and driving a car or motorcycle the national speed limit is 60mph.

I think some of the confusion is caused by the definition of a physical divide. Does there have to be a bit of armco or is a strip of grass acceptable?
I would assume a strip of grass is a physical divide but I've met plenty who claim it isn't which I would imagine makes driving on roads where the armco suddenly stops only to reappear several 100 yards later an interesting experience.

What's the speed limit on a single lane, one way NSL road (as there's no chance of oncoming traffic)?
60.Has it become inherently safer with oncoming cars separated by a barrier?
(It's irrelevant, it's just a quirk of the rules)
