Ok, I'll ask my earlier question again as no one answered it last time and this thread is going round in circles. If you had a choice would you prefer to break down on a hard shoulder with traffic thundering past at 70+ mph, or would you prefer a live,but closed, lane or emergency refuge with the adjacent lanes slowed to 30? I know which one I'd choose,and it doesnt involve hard shoulders.My point was that it's not acceptable not to provide a safe place for vehicles too pull off a carrageway where the permitted speeds are fast. Just because this may be the case on a dual carriageway isn't a defence for there being no hard shoulder on a motorway. Does anyone actually think it's safe to pull up on the inside lane on a motorway with no hard shoulder, really!
