Why should a rider never ride on the pavement shoulder (berma) when bypassing stopped traffic at a red light?

1. Bermas contain broken glass, nails, and road debris that cause punctures, and pedestrians or turning vehicles can collide with the motorcycle; it is also illegal under Ley 18.290
2. Bermas are reserved for high-speed racing
3. Bermas are made of magnetic asphalt
4. Bermas have higher speed limits than the main lanes
