Soft verges ahead

Warning signs

Soft verges ahead

A red triangle with a car part-tipped into the verge. The road edges are soft (often after rain) and parking on or driving onto the verge can sink your wheels. Stay on the carriageway and pass other vehicles by waiting for a passing place rather than swerving onto the verge.
