When leaving an expressway, what should you do?

When leaving an expressway, it's important to manage your speed appropriately to ensure both your safety and the safety of other drivers. The best practice is to slow down well before you reach the exit ramp. This allows you to navigate the exit safely and provides adequate time to adjust to the decreased speed limit that usually applies on the exit ramp and local roads.

Making last-minute turns into an exit can be dangerous, as it may not give other drivers enough notice of your intention to leave the expressway. Additionally, slowing down only after you are completely off the expressway can lead to potential accidents, as the transition from high-speed driving to reduced speeds requires careful management.

By prioritizing a gradual reduction in speed before reaching the exit, you enhance your ability to maintain control of your vehicle and make safe decisions while transitioning to different traffic conditions.
