What is the correct action if you miss your exit on the highway?

When you miss your exit on the highway, the safest and most appropriate action is to continue to the next exit. This approach ensures that you maintain a steady flow of traffic, reducing the risk of accidents that could occur from sudden stops or reckless maneuvers.

Reversing back to the missed exit is highly dangerous and illegal, as it poses significant risks to both the driver and others on the highway. Making a U-turn immediately is also not permissible on highways, where such turns are illegal due to safety concerns. Stopping on the highway can create a hazardous situation for you and other drivers, as it can lead to rear-end collisions or impede traffic flow.

By proceeding to the next exit, you can safely find a route that allows you to return to your intended path without jeopardizing your safety or that of other road users.
