Isn't the only dual carriageway on the island that tiny bit when you're approaching the airport from Douglas, which then ends with a left turn lane into the airport at the roundabout?

About all 30 metres of it?

Its shouldn't be though. I think someone at the DOI just wanted to have a dual carriage way. It wouldn't be in the UK it would just be two lanes running up to a roundabout. One for straight ahead and one for turning right.

 It scares me that some of you are allowed to drive.

If they had AI cameras dotted around the island, within a year probably around 50% of drivers would have at least one ticket IMO, and probably 5% would have points or even outright bans.

It's coming. The new 2030 budget is based around drones instead of officers.

I don’t know anyone in real life who would class the Mooragh Prom as a dual carriageway

The clue is where it is. 

You've got to be a bit more understanding with these Northerners when it comes to the wonders of the modern world.

How’s @A fool and his money..... getting on with your application to sort Bus Vannin out? Any sign yessir? You’ve still got IOM Constabulary to sort out too, so chop chop, get to it.

This conversation could have made it into a Monty Python sketch - along with discussions about the meaning of life.

So, is this a dual carriageway?

Or, is this a dual carriageway?

Or, is this just a road?

I know, it is a 30mph urban road.

But it is a dual carriageway. It has a central reservation.

But only one lane. A dual carriageway has 2 lanes.
