Which term is used to describe the position near the right edge of a roadway?

The term "Right Shoulder" is defined as the area of the roadway that extends from the right edge of the travelled lane to the edge of the roadway or the right-of-way. This area is typically used for emergencies, breakdowns, and sometimes for pedestrians or cyclists depending on the local regulations. Understanding this term is crucial for safety, as it is often where vehicles may need to pull over in case of an emergency, and it is also an important area for law enforcement to be aware of when managing traffic incidents. The right shoulder provides drivers with a safe space to stop without obstructing the flow of traffic on the main travel lanes. Other terms, such as roadside, may refer more generally to the area adjacent to a road, while right lane pertains specifically to the designated travel lane, and turning space would indicate areas specifically designed for turning maneuvers, not simply a description of location on the roadway.
