soft shoulders
Road's dirt margins
Soft shoulders is a road sign warning that the edge of the pavement gives way to unpaved ground that may not support a vehicle's weight.
The shoulder—the strip alongside the travel lane—is soft rather than paved, making it dangerous to pull off or drift onto: We saw the soft shoulders sign and stayed well within our lane.
