What should you do if you miss your exit on a highway?

The recommended action when you miss your exit on a highway is to continue to the next exit and find a safe place to turn around. This approach prioritizes safety for both you and other drivers. Stopping on the highway or attempting to backtrack can create dangerous situations, increasing the risk of accidents. Making a U-turn on a highway, especially if not at a designated area, is typically illegal and hazardous due to high-speed traffic. Additionally, signaling other drivers to help you is not practical or safe, as it does not guide you toward resolving the situation effectively. Choosing to go to the next exit allows you to safely navigate back to the desired route without putting yourself or other motorists at risk.
