Re: Unclassified dual carriageways
Bluewater shopping centre has two dualled GSJs which aren't even coloured yellow on the OS 1:50,000, let alone classified.
The approach roads to Stansted airport, built in the early 1990s, were very impressive unclassified partly dual carriageway roads until they became part of the A120 when the Stansted-Braintree improvement was built.

Unclassified dual carriageways
Team Valley in Gateshead about a mile of D2 through the trading estate.
Re: Unclassified dual carriageways
There are a significant number in Liverpool suburbs, notably in the north-east of the city, that were built in the 1930s with new tramways down the middle, through major new housing areas. Utting Avenue and Muirhead Avenue are just two examples. The trams went in the 1950s but the unclassified alignments continue as major distributors within these areas.

That was Ravenscraig steelworks. There was a plan for a new town to be built there at one point, I'm not sure what the current plans for the site are.Burns wrote:I found this on the outskirts of Motherwell. I'm assuming it's part of a plan that was never completed though.

Isn't that on the A1070 or A1155 or something like that....
Is there a road improvement project going on near you? Help us to document it on the SABRE Wiki - help is available in the Digest forum.

Re: Unclassified dual carriageways
It's a proper unclassified Dual. See attatched photo and note the only crossover to have recently been adorned with no-entry signage. This is an unusual view of this unusual dual carriageway taken from several miles away so sorry about the poor quality.rhyds wrote:I can't find it on streetview, but the Epynt range has a mapped and signed D1 access (with crossovers through the hedge).
Re: Unclassified dual carriageways
Another one is the fairly new Queen Elizabeth Way, extending south from near the A66 at Stockton across the River Tees to Ingleby Barwick.

Re: Unclassified dual carriageways
This is possibly the only one in Ireland, except it does have an L number like every other "unclassified" road does - and is very short. Its also the only L road to have a junction with a motorway!

That road is going to be part of the new massive Ravenscraig housing development and leisure complex. See this site: http://www.ravenscraig.co.uk/Burns wrote:I found this on the outskirts of Motherwell. I'm assuming it's part of a plan that was never completed though.

Built for comfort, not speed.

Is it as quiet as it looks?
Re: Unclassified dual carriageways
The road is the main access to the Epynt military range. I assume it's built as a dual to make shifting heavy military kit easier.

Re: Unclassified dual carriageways
I think Calder Bridge to Sellafield has been mentioned in other threads but not yet in this one.
I could name a few urban ones too. They're not difficult to find where Landranger maps cover cities, and we've had a thread on dual carriageway style urban avenues.

Re: Unclassified dual carriageways
Dargan Road, Belfast?
As per NIRS's page http://www.wesleyjohnston.com/roads/dar ... ening.html
And the associated road between the A2 Shore Road and Fortwilliam junction. Quite fun when empty!

Re: Unclassified dual carriageways
I think one of the most rural dual carriageways must be the road entering the Kent village of Eccles from the south/east. My Google Maps is playing up so I can't provide a link
