Motorway rules - You're on a smart motorway. What does it mean when a mandatory speed limit is displayed above the hard shoulder?

Explanation

"A mandatory speed-limit sign above the hard shoulder shows that this part of the road can be used as a running lane between junctions. You must stay within the speed limit. Look out for vehicles that may have broken down and could be blocking the hard shoulder."
