Explanation
The Soft Shoulder warning sign alerts drivers that the area immediately next to the paved roadway is made of soft or unstable material, such as dirt or gravel. This surface does not support the weight of a vehicle well and can cause you to lose control if you drive onto it. This sign is a reminder to stay on the paved surface of the road whenever possible.
To stay safe, do not leave the pavement unless it is an emergency. If you must pull over, do so with extreme caution and avoid sudden steering or braking.
