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

Continuing to the next exit instead of attempting to reverse is the correct procedure if you miss your exit on the highway. Highways are designed for fast-moving traffic, and reversing or making a U-turn can be extremely dangerous. These actions disrupt the flow of traffic and significantly increase the risk of accidents, as they create unexpected hazards for both yourself and other drivers.

By choosing to proceed to the next exit, you maintain safety and compliance with traffic laws. Once you exit, you can then evaluate your route to determine how to safely return to your intended destination, often by using side roads or re-entering the highway at the appropriate point. This approach emphasizes safety and responsible driving behavior, which are key principles taught in driver improvement courses.
