To safely exit a major roadway or highway, always plan ahead. Make sure you are in the proper lane well before you reach your exit.
1. Use your turn signal well in advance of the exit in order to alert the drivers behind you.
2. Move into the deceleration lane if there is one.
3. If possible, do most of the slowing in the deceleration lane.
4. When you have exited, ensure your signal light is turned off.
