I'm pretty confident that 2 painted lines about a foot apart between carriage ways dont count as a central reservation but my fiance thinks these lines may constitute a central reservation and therefore make the NSL 70 instead of 60.
He would like a 'body of opinions' and so i throw the floor open to the ph masses.

Search for the thread in sp&l. You need a physical barrier not painted tarmac.

Close. What's required is a "central reservation", delineated either by a grass or other space between the two carriageways (hence "dual carriageway") or by a physical barrier.

Yes, one lane each way with a central reservation IS a dual carriageway.

A grass section would be a physical barrier between the two lanes.

Do you have a google earth of the road in question? I've never seen a road marking like that before.

Purely for interest - the previous two posters have already answered correctly imo.
