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

A dual carriageway is a road that has a barrier separating two directions of traffic. It has nothing to do with the number of lanes.

I think it does when talking about speed limits. But I could be wrong. 

Oxford English dictionary 

How do you know if you have a dual carriageway?

 

 

Single carriageways have a single lane of traffic in each direction, while dual carriageways have two lanes. The national speed limit for cars on a single carriageway is 60 mph, but it can vary depending on the road and traffic condition

Not only is it a dual carriageway,I think it may be the only stretch of road on the Island with urban clearway signage .
