What is a "soft shoulder"?
A soft shoulder refers to a section of the road next to the main lanes that is usually not used for driving. It is typically made of gravel, dirt, or other soft materials and serves as a safety feature. Drivers are not expected to drive on the soft shoulder, but it provides a space for vehicles to pull over in emergencies or for stopping when needed. It is often slightly lower than the main road and can help prevent accidents by giving drivers a safe area to move out of the way of traffic.
Example
The police officer directed the driver to move his vehicle onto the soft shoulder after the minor accident.
Signs along the highway remind motorists not to litter on the soft shoulder to maintain cleanliness and safety.
Drivers should be cautious when pulling onto the soft shoulder to avoid getting stuck in mud or gravel.
