Exiting a Freeway

Question 1

most freeway exits have a special lane for you to use before reaching the exit ramp; avoid slowing down on freeway itself
- wait until deceleration lane and then slow gradually until your speed matches the posted exit ramp speed

Answer 1

• look ahead for signs telling you about the exit you want and lane you need to use
• check front, behind and the side for traffic; signal and move into proper lane a mile or more before the exit
• most exits are numbered to help you quickly spot the one you want to take
• these numbers usually listed on major freeway signs
• if miss the exit ramp, never turn back around or back up; go to next exit, get back on freeway in opposite direction, and return to the exit you want
