Exiting Some tips on how to exit a major roadway or highway safely:
• Plan ahead. Be in the proper lane well before you reach your exit.
• Use your turn signal well in advance of the exit to alert other drivers.
• Move into the deceleration lane if there is one.
• If possible, do most of the slowing in the deceleration lane. Some deceleration lanes are short; you may need to start to reduce your speed while still on the highway.
• When you have exited, ensure your signal light is turned off.
• If you miss your exit, do not stop. Continue to the next exit and make plans to return to your route. Do not stop and reverse on a highway, emergency stopping lane, or shoulder.Text extracted from the PDF for reference and may contain layout artefacts. The official PDF is authoritative.
