A Question for DVD et al.

The Dartford tunnel northbound is in fact two tunnels.
Both carry traffic in a single direction only (unless there are roadworks etc).
Each tunnel has the two lanes divided by a double white line.

Are they single or dual carriageway roads?

Definition of a DC:

TSGD 2002
"dual carriageway road" means a road which comprises a central reservation and "all-purpose dual carriageway road" means a dual carriageway road which is not a motorway;

RTRA 1984
"means a road part of which consists of a central reservation to seperate a carriageway to be used by vehicles proceeding in one direction from a carriageway to be used by vehicles proceeding in the opposite direction"

Don't think you can stretch the tunnel wall to be a CR.

More a One Way Street?

Doesn't it have its own speed limit through the tunnel like the Tyne Tunnel?

Tunnel speed limit is 50mph. Just wondered if HGV40 applied. It would appear so!
