Why this is the answer
The correct answer in the official bank: The road is narrow and has no “hard shoulders” used for escape in case of danger; slow down and stay alert to what occurs on the road.
The sign tells you there are no hard shoulders on the road, so there is no place to escape at the roadside if a sudden danger arises. In this situation, slow down and be more alert, so that you have time to react and stop within your lane. Driving in the middle of the road or on the left side of your lane brings you closer to oncoming traffic. High speed shortens the time and distance you have to react and lengthens the stopping distance.
