Average of 115mph on the North Devon Link Road - single carriageway and 60 mph.

I know that road but haven't been on it for quite a while and that's outrageous. Is it still 3-lane in places? Never understood why they did that.
This road links the M5 to North Devon. It was originally designed, and was going to be built, as a dual carriageway. The first section to Tiverton was built as such.
Government cutbacks meant there were insufficient funds to build to dual standards and the scheme was going to be dropped. The MP at the time, Tony Speller, lobbied that a road of some kind must be built so this cheaper 3 lane scheme went ahead.
