Hard Shoulder Safety
Discussion
Watching Winter Roads Rescue recently, one thing that is continuously emphasised is the danger that the crews are in when working on the hard shoulder. For once I don't think it is exaggerated - it's a proper scary place to be, especially in the dark or wet.
In the US (well Florida anyway) they have a law, which dictates that drivers should leave a clear lane between them and the emergency vehicle, and if they are not able to do so, they must reduce to 20 mph below the posted speedlimit.
To me this actually makes sense, and is something that could easily be replicated. Others thoughts?
