Geograph - photograph every grid square

Single carriageways with more width than that needed for two running lanes usually have the extra width divided off on one or both sides to give a hard shoulder. The Rules of the road for broken yellow lines are:
"This road contains a hard shoulder, which is normally only for pedestrians and cyclists. If a driver wants to allow a vehicle behind them to overtake, they may pull in to the hard shoulder briefly as long as no pedestrians or cyclists are already using it and no junctions or entrances are nearby."
As a cyclist I found these hard shoulders made my journey a lot easier, but I had to be aware that sometimes they disappear where there is insufficient width. The road in the photo has a broken yellow line with a hard shoulder on the left, but just a line to show the edge of the road on the right.
