When exiting an expressway, what should you do?

• A. Search early for your exit
• B. Wait until the last moment to change lanes
• C. Speed up to clear traffic
• D. Stop immediately in the lane

Answer: (A)

When you’re exiting, plan ahead by looking for your exit signs early and positioning yourself in the correct lane well before you reach the exit. This gives you time to signal, check mirrors and blind spots, and make a smooth lane change without braking abruptly or crossing multiple lanes at the last second. Exits often require slower speeds, so moving into the exit lane gradually keeps traffic flowing and reduces the risk of collisions. Rushing the maneuver by waiting until the last moment, trying to speed up to squeeze through, or stopping in the lanes are dangerous and disruptive, so they’re not acceptable approaches.
