I've ridden NSL dual carriageways on many occassions. In fact, to get the the famous Eureka Cafe for a Sunday club ride, taking the dual carriageway is the only feasible route for some. Yes it's fast, but many motorists drive those sort of speeds on 40/50 and 60 mph roads regardless.
By their very nature, there's something comforting about knowing that approaching vehicles will usually have a whole other free lane that they can pull into to overtake, rather than squeezing past on a narrow single carriageway.
Dual carriageways don't always have a second lane. There is a NSL dual carriage way which forms part of the Pilgrim's Way in Kent which has only one lane in either direction. The "dual" part just means the different directions of traffic are separated by a physical barrier (could be grass, armco, hedge etc). The number of lanes in either direction is not important for the dual carriage way classification.
