Permitted lanes, including the hard shoulderThis was the right answer
In this dynamic hard-shoulder arrangement, a speed limit above the shoulder opens it as an extra lane. Use only lanes permitted for your vehicle, keep left when appropriate, and obey both the displayed limit and any lower vehicle maximum. Continue watching for breakdowns and changed signals.
