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

When you miss your exit on a highway, the safest and most appropriate action is to continue to the next exit and turn around. Highways are designed for traffic to flow continuously, and stopping, backing up, or making illegal maneuvers can create dangerous situations for yourself and other drivers.

Continuing to the next exit allows you to safely re-enter traffic and then re-route to your intended destination without interrupting the flow of vehicles behind you. It also ensures that you maintain control of your vehicle and adhere to traffic laws, which prioritize safety on the roadway. Once you exit at the next interchange, you can plan your route back to the missed exit without risking an accident or violating traffic regulations.
