Not in France, there a solid line means do no cross, hence there is a broken line on Autoroutes between the carriageway and hard shoulder. If the line was solid it would prohibit anyone going onto the hard shoulder. In the UK this line is solid.
However my point about U-turns around such islands is that there usually just isn't the road width to do a U-turn, It is no more a sensible maneuver than doing a U-turn where a dual carriageway becomes a 2 lane road, such as this http://map.project-osrm.org/NX and the streetview version http://goo.gl/maps/7c48 Whilst not prohibited, an accident whilst doing this is likely to get you the standard catch all of "driving without due care and attention" and no doubt generate more 'Satnav causes accident' type headlines.
