The problem with this is that the type of person who would get on the motorway and drive the wrong way is someone who is confused.
If/When they see the sign, what would they do? It is counter intuitive to pull over on the hard shoulder as for them, that's way over to the right hand side of the road so they are likely to stop where they are in what we see as the outside lane and potentially get out of their car into the face of oncoming fast traffic.
Someone with their wits about them would do a U-turn as soon as they safely could and get going the right way again. The people who are doing it though are unlikely to be thinking straight enough to do that.
I can see a need for it, but am not sure it will help.
