Practice question

What should you do if you miss your exit on a freeway?

  1. Stop and reverse on the freeway
  2. Proceed to the next exit and turn around safely
  3. Make a U-turn at the missed exit
  4. Take the next available exit regardless of direction

Answer: B — Proceed to the next exit and turn around safely

If you miss your exit on a freeway, the correct course of action is to proceed to the next exit and turn around safely. This approach prioritizes safety and adheres to traffic regulations. By continuing to the next exit, you can make a controlled turnaround without endangering yourself or other road users. Stopping, reversing, or making a U-turn on the freeway can lead to dangerous situations, as freeways are designed for continuous movement at high speeds. Stopping in the travel lanes can cause collisions, and reversing is not permitted due to the high risk of accidents. Similarly, making a U-turn at a missed exit is illegal and unsafe since it can put you in dangerous positions in oncoming traffic. Choosing the next available exit allows you to regain your intended route effectively and safely.
