What should you do 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 and turn around safely. This approach adheres to traffic laws and regulations, minimizing the risk of an accident. Making a U-turn or backing up on a highway can lead to dangerous situations and is illegal in most jurisdictions. It could also confuse and endanger other drivers on the road.

Continuing to the next exit allows you to safely find a place to re-enter the highway in the correct direction. It maintains the flow of traffic, reduces the possibility of collisions, and ensures that you remain in compliance with traffic rules. After exiting, you can assess the situation and determine the best route back to your original intended destination.
