Last weekend, we went on a roadtrip to the Connemara and the Cliffs of Moher. On our way home, we discovered a mystery. A road sign displayed the words "End of Hard Shoulder". None of us, an Erasmus company, had any idea what to make of it. Some thought it had something to do with a way of steering, others were confident that you could stop looking over your shoulder from that point on. I intended to look it up, but forgot soon afterwards.
But during the week, I watched some episodes of Top Gear and from the context, I could finally understand. Watching British series is definitely a way to learn vocabulary and cultural traits. However, foreign drivers who don't know what "Hard Shoulder" means, could land up in trouble. I think these road signs could benefit from an illustration.
