@ Oliver - yes, I'll take primary on high-speed out-of-town dual-carriageways (is that enough hyphenation for you?) at junctions. For drag-strip TTs, I'll normally be scoping the road behind me from about 1/2 mile before the turn (rdbt), and then getting right across into the centre of the fast lane from up to 1/4 mile before the turn, depending on my speed and stuff. This doesn't stop it being a little frightening at times, and I still favour the sporting courses. Dual-carriageways (in the sense I'm referring to) just don't seem like a bike-friendly environment; rather an unnecessary evil one has to negotiate from time to time.
