Practice question

What should you do if you miss your exit on the highway?

  1. Make a U-turn immediately
  2. Continue to the next exit
  3. Stop and back up
  4. Signal and try to cross multiple lanes

Answer: B — Continue to the next exit

If you miss your exit on the highway, the best course of action is to continue to the next exit. Highways are designed for efficient traffic flow, and trying to make a U-turn or backup can create dangerous situations not only for yourself but also for other drivers. By proceeding to the next exit, you can safely reorient yourself, find another route back, and maintain the safety of everyone on the road. Making a U-turn or stopping on the highway can lead to serious accidents, while trying to cross multiple lanes to get back to the missed exit can result in collisions especially since highway traffic is often fast-paced and dense. Following the logical step of taking the next exit helps you avoid risky maneuvers and allows you to navigate back to your desired route safely.
