"was designed to eventually have triple highways"

What does this mean? A "three-lane-road", three carriageways, a three-lane dual carriageway like a motorway, what? Please explain better. 86.146.232.175 13:06, 24 August 2007 (UTC)

I was going to post exactly the same thing! 161.12.7.4 (talk) 14:40, 18 January 2008 (UTC)

First dual carriageway?

I don't think this claim is accurate. The road opened in 1934 - there were already dual carriageways open by then - for example Blackburn had a section of its ring road with dual carriageways in 1928. The fact a citation is needed kind of emphasises the point that it's not a valid claim?

  • I've changed the {{fact}} to {{dubious}} (which links to this talk page) as the claim is probably not accurate. If construction started in 1929 then that short section of Blackburn ring road was almost certainly earlier, and maybe that was not the first either. --Snigbrook 02:06, 11 April 2008 (UTC)
Well lets hope that this unnamed (unnumbered) road in Blackburn is referenced - possibly yet another dubious claim.Pyrotec (talk) 08:18, 11 April 2008 (UTC)
