Jersey barrier -is the name given in looking it up- Also a name for it- In the city you have a grassy median to separate the street- this might make it a one way street are just a divider- could contain small tree's-bushes or flowers- In Texas the state often plants wild flowers like Indian paint brush & blue bonnets- also utility boxes are off to the side in the city could be painted with flowers or decorations rather just plain paint. This is a video of the utility box art in the city of Houston. www.youtube.com/watch?v=HIeqsiVBVXQ

The "motorway is understandable but "dual carriage ways?" Is that for the horse drawn vehicles and Ox carts? Hahahahaha LOL - Nice to see you Roger. Now here is an explanation:-
The main differences between motorways and dual carriageways Despite having some key similarities, there are a number of fundamental differences between the two types of road.
Some of the differences between dual carriageways and motorways are better known than others, such as:
Motorways only allow motorised vehicles, so that means no pedestrians or cyclists Motorways don’t permit learner drivers, unlike dual carriageways which do Motorways don’t permit tractors and some other slow moving vehicles Motorways have a hard shoulder while dual carriageways do not Motorways have the “M” designation before or after the road number, such as M1 or A1(M). The addition of the ‘(M)’ means the former dual carriageway (the A1) has been upgraded to motorway status There are, however, some more subtle differences between the two that you might not instantly notice:
Junctions on motorways are always numbered Motorway signs are always blue, while they are green on dual carriageways On a motorway, the right hand lane is only for overtaking, whereas you can use it for turning right on a dual carriageway Exiting a motorway almost always involves a slip road Roundabouts and traffic lights are extremely rare on motorways but very common on dual carriageways

OH Val. I need to pull myself together. It almost makes sense although it is quite different than our roads. "Slipway"? Really? do they oil the road?
