This concept dates back well before this introduction. In the US, this concept has existed for a lot longer. It is common in parts of the country where there are hills or very long sections of roads where passing is not allowed. This article should probably be adjusted to reflect this. While the name is Irish, the concept is not. Vegaswikian 20:00, 16 July 2006 (UTC)
I think there is some confusion in the article; a photo of a standard climbing lane describes the road as a "2+1". I don't think roads without a median divide are 2+1; climbing lanes have existed in Ireland for decades and were never called anything other than climbing lanes. So that is probably why "2+1" isn't used in America - they don't have them! I'll amend the article to eliminate the confusion. Sarah777 ( talk) 07:34, 10 April 2009 (UTC)

The given Google Streetview reference for the Australian Pacific Highway shows a dual carriageway section, not a 2+1 road! .. Guidod ( talk) 11:24, 13 April 2014 (UTC)
