Soft Shoulder Signs are MUTCD Compliant (MUTCD W8-4) and identify that the shoulder is a bit weaker than the main road and should be prepared for a rougher shoulder. Soft Shoulder Signs are useful devices to help display official regulations and provide mandatory information to drivers and pedestrians on both private and public roadways.
