"In the UK and France, the +1 was available for use by traffic travelling in either direction."

I live in the UK, and the only +1 roads I can remember seeing have clear markings showing which side of the road can use the extra lane (never noticed one that included both sides).

In Sweden they are not just marked, but are physically demarcated with a guardrail.
That is an improvement I would like to see here too. My earlier comment was more to address the idea that the current third lane in the UK is some sort of free-for-all, which I don't agree with.
