 +===== All lane running schemes ===== 
 +All lane running schemes permanently remove the hard shoulder and convert it into a running lane. 
 + 
 +On these types of motorway, lane one (formerly the hard shoulder) is only closed to traffic in the event of an incident. 
 + 
 +===== Controlled motorway ===== 
 +Controlled motorways have three or more lanes with variable speed limits, but retains a hard shoulder. The hard shoulder should only be used in a genuine emergency 
 + 
 +===== Dynamic hard shoulder running schemes ===== 
 +Dynamic hard shoulder running involves opening the hard shoulder as a running lane to traffic at busy periods to ease congestion.
