Unfortunately things are changing regarding the Hard Shoulder on UK motorways. During times of congestion the Hard Shoulder is opened up to alleviate some of the problem by allow traffic to use it to get to the next off ramp and leave the motorway. So access=no would only apply some of the time (and certainly would not be accessed by pedestrians or motorcycles at any time time). I assume that Martin is referring to non-motorway roads but does not say which countries may have these. I would suggest that access restrictions may differ from one country to another and the rules that apply to the road in question would be the guideline to the restrictions for that road, and may also be different for another road in a different part of that country. So access=no may not apply to all roads where regular access is allowed.
