Interstate traffic has stopped because of a crash ahead. Your exit is a short distance away. May you drive on the shoulder to reach the exit?
A waits behind stopped interstate traffic. An empty shoulder runs along the right edge toward a later exit.
Correct answer: No. The shoulder is only for a few uses, such as getting a vehicle off the road.
Why
A shoulder is built for stopped vehicles, emergency use, and to support the edge of the road. In a traffic jam, police, fire, and ambulance crews may use the shoulder to reach a crash. A driver who uses it as a lane can block them or hit a person or a stopped car there.
