If you miss your exit on an expressway, what should you do?

• A. Do not stop; continue to the next exit safely and exit there via a legal route.
• B. Stop on the shoulder.
• C. Back up to the exit.
• D. U-turn at the next ramp.

Answer: (A)

Missing an exit on an expressway tests your ability to recover safely without stopping or turning around on the roadway. The best move is to stay in traffic flow and continue to the next exit, then leave there via a legal route. Stopping on the shoulder or backing up on a ramp creates a high risk of a crash with fast-moving vehicles. U-turns at or on ramps are unsafe and typically illegal. By going to the next exit, you maintain control of the vehicle and reduce danger. After exiting, use surface streets or a legal route to navigate back to your destination or to reach the missed exit via appropriate routes.
