ok ,bear with me , I check in on various news sites everyday , just what do you guys in Accrington/UK class as a 'motorway' seems to me a motorway is something at least 3 lanes wide in each direction with unrestricted speed controls (apart from national restrictions) , and a duel carrigeway is 2 lanes in each directions, ( e.g. Brownhill to Preston New Road , with no speed restrictions, apart from the national limit) so how is the 'new' road which runs thru Clayton from Burnley to the M6 classed as a motorway , its only 2 lanes wide .
Question is ....why is the road thru Clayton classed as a motorway yet the road over the top of Accrington , coming from Haslingden/Manchester Airport classed as a duel carrigeway when both are only 2 laners
just curious , Thanks
