That's not how the shoulder of the road is meant to be used. The shoulder has many uses, depending on where the road is located. In Chicagoland, Pace transit buses use the shoulder, and have giant "Authorized to use the shoulder" signs on them. In the southeast, driving in the shoulder lanes is encouraged during evacuations, and they're painted with hurricane symbols. Shoulders can be easily repurposed for other uses. Never assume that where you are is how things are everywhere.
