Thankyou. I edited my original post, to include a link to a Google Map image of the area in question.
In the vein of pulling over, if you go to the Google Map link I included in my editing, you will see that East Diamond Avenue has no shoulder. If you pan along East Diamond Avenue to Russell Avenue and, take a right on Russell Avenue, you will see that, Russell Avenue has a shoulders on both sides.
