Surely you mean the verge? If there were a hard shoulder then they'd be
stupid not to redesignate it "road" to avoid the problem. And UIVMM most
of the roads around there are unsealed anyway, so the same would apply
to a soft shoulder.

Delete the word "hard":-) There was usually a coating of tarmac on some of
the laterite.
