If you get on a wrong expressway exit, you must:

Make a U-turn and return to the expressway.
Drive in reverse to return to the expressway.
Use the the exit ramp to accelerate to expressway speed and blend with traffic.
Proceed and exit the expressway, then look for signs that tell you how to return to the expressway.
Explanation

If you take the wrong exit on an expressway, continue off the expressway - do not stop, back up, or attempt to turn around on the exit ramp or any part of the highway. This is extremely dangerous. Once you’ve exited safely, look for signs that direct you to a nearby on-ramp to re-enter the expressway. If you need to check your phone or GPS to recalculate your route, make sure to pull over in a safe location before doing so.
