No Shoulder

The roadway ahead has no usable shoulder for stopping or recovering from a run-off.

There is no paved or graded shoulder beyond the travel lane on the road ahead. Avoid drifting toward the edge, do not plan to pull over for a non-emergency stop, and be aware that disabled vehicles or maintenance work may be exposed in the lane. The condition often coincides with bridges, narrow rural alignments, or mountain roads.
