US highways and state freeways, even grandfathered older interstates (LA and Orange County are somewhat notorious for this, as does Pennsylvania in at least the Philadelphia and NYC areas) completely lack shoulders (and even might fence you into the traffic lanes). Oklahoma's rural turnpikes often have have no left shoulders (often being a three foot high grass berm sperating directions of travel, running all the way up to the orange edge of roadway delineation marking to the point restriping trucks sometimes paint the grass). Two lane highways both in the state and US system in most of the country tend to have little or no hard shoulder. In terms of miles traveled by the public, yes, hard shoulders are somewhat common. In terms of mappable miles of highway? Exceptionally rare.
