If a driver enters the wrong entrance ramp, what is the recommended action?

When a driver accidentally enters the wrong entrance ramp, the advisable course of action is to continue in that direction until reaching the next exit. This approach is recommended for several reasons:

Firstly, stopping immediately can be dangerous. Stopping on a highway or an expressway may lead to accidents, as other vehicles are moving at high speeds and may not expect to see a stationary car. Additionally, reversing on a highway presents severe risks, such as causing further accidents or getting hit by oncoming traffic.

Continuing until the next exit allows the driver to safely navigate to an appropriate place where they can turn around or recalculate their route. It is generally safer to proceed to the next exit rather than attempting a dangerous maneuver on a busy roadway. This method ensures that the driver does not put themselves or others in danger while trying to correct their mistake.

Turning around on the expressway is illegal in many areas due to the same safety concerns. It poses a significant risk to the driver and other motorists. Contacting law enforcement may be unnecessary and can divert police resources from other critical needs unless the driver is in immediate danger or has become involved in a crash.

By following the recommended action to continue to the next exit, the driver can then safely make adjustments to
