Soft shoulders on highways serve as a buffer zone between the roadway and the surrounding environment. They provide a space for vehicles that may veer off the road, helping to prevent accidents and allowing for safer recovery. Additionally, soft shoulders can facilitate water drainage, reducing the risk of flooding on the roadway. They also support emergency stopping and maintenance activities without the need for concrete barriers.
Soft Top Hard Shoulder was created in 1993.
The soft shoulder is a part of a road or highway that is unpaved and is usually covered in gavel. The soft shoulder sign informs drivers of the soft, unpaved ground along the edge of the road or highway.
The shoulder refers to the area of the road just outside the main road. A soft shoulder sign means that the shoulder is literally softer than the actual road.

The ground just off the pavement is soft and you may get stuck with your car if you drive into it.
The ground just off the pavement is soft and you may get stuck with your car if you drive into it.
It means that the shoulder of the road is soft and non-compacted, probably not hard-surfaced, and you could easily get stuck on the shoulder. In a situation like this, if you need to stop at the side of the road, make sure that your left wheels are still on the pavement.
