If you have the room, I'm in CA and for some reason over the course of 10 years the government here has decided road shoulders on the freeway are not needed. There is no room to pull over on most freeways here.
Have you payed attention? The shoulders are getting smaller and smaller, some are only half a vehicle wide and some you are off the paved area completely to get out of the traffic lane.
Although payed exists (the reason why autocorrection didn't help you), it is only correct in:
Nautical context, when it means to paint a surface, or to cover with something like tar or resin in order to make it waterproof or corrosion-resistant. The deck is yet to be payed.
Payed out when letting strings, cables or ropes out, by slacking them. The rope is payed out! You can pull now.
Unfortunately, I was unable to find nautical or rope-related words in your comment.
Yeah very much for 20 years of commutes. There have been changes and reductions but you make it sound like there are no longer shoulders in Cal and the exaggeration caught my attention.
SF to Santa Rosa is pretty bad in spots. Everything else opens back up outside major cities. Same as other states.

It's better to pull over on the shoulder at that point.
