If you miss your highway exit, what should you do?

Missing a highway exit requires you to keep moving to the next exit and re-enter the roadway safely from there. Stopping or backing up on the ramp creates a serious crash risk because traffic on the highway moves at high speed and may not expect a vehicle reversing. Turning around on the ramp or backing up on the shoulder is often illegal and dangerous, while continuing to the next exit gives you space to slow down, signal, and choose a safe route back. If you miss the exit, stay calm, maintain your lane, and plan to exit at the next opportunity.
