When getting ready to exit from an expressway, you should:

• A. Maintain your speed until the last moment and then brake hard.
• B. Signal early and move to the deceleration lane, then reduce speed to the exit ramp.
• C. Exit without signaling.
• D. Stop immediately in the emergency lane.

Answer: (B)

Exiting safely means planning ahead and slowing in the right place. Signal early to tell other drivers you’re leaving, then steer into the deceleration lane and reduce your speed before you reach the exit ramp. This gives you time to slow gradually without disrupting traffic in the main lanes and keeps the flow of vehicles smooth. Braking hard at the last moment is risky and can lead to loss of control or a rear-end collision. Exiting without signaling hides your intentions from drivers behind you and can cause surprises. Stopping in the emergency lane isn’t appropriate for normal exits; that lane is reserved for emergencies, and stopping there creates a danger for blocked space and or obstructing responders.
