Here in DC the they open the shoulders to traffic during rush hour. I suppose the idea is that in stop and go traffic there's unlikely to be an accident requiring emergency vehicle access and the speed differential between moving traffic and a broken down vehicle on the shoulder is so small it would cause an accident. Of course this is the land of such bad traffic a whole interstate goes HOV only and major roads go one-way during rush hours too. As for people that otherwise drive on the shoulder other than a very short distance to their exit, ya it's pretty dick self-important behavior.
