What should you do if you miss your exit on an interstate?

If you miss your exit on an interstate, the safest and most appropriate action is to continue to the next exit and turn around. This approach minimizes the risk of an accident, as attempting to stop abruptly or reverse on a busy interstate can create dangerous situations for you and other drivers.

Continuing to the next exit allows you to safely navigate back towards your desired route without obstructing traffic. Once you exit, you can find a safe place to turn around, such as at an intersection or designated U-turn area, and return to the interstate in the correct direction. This practice aligns with road safety regulations, which advise against maneuvers that could impede traffic flow or create hazards.
