This road sign means:

Stop ahead.
Shoulder drop off.
Low clearance.
Tow away zone.
Explanation

The SHOULDER DROP OFF sign warns drivers of a significant elevation difference between the roadway and adjacent shoulder. These signs appear where shoulder conditions create particular rollover or stability risks. When approaching this sign, drivers must exercise heightened caution. If a wheel drops off the pavement, avoid sudden braking or sharp steering. Such abrupt maneuvers can lead to a loss of control. Instead, maintain a steady grip on the wheel and gradually guide the vehicle back onto the roadway.
