If you miss your exit on a freeway, you should:

Turn around or back up.
Go to the next exit, get back on the freeway in the opposite direction and return to the exit you want.
Signal other drivers to stop so you can turn.
Make a quick U-turn from your lane of travel.
Explanation

If you miss your exit on a freeway, don't back up. Backing up on a freeway or stopping in travel lanes is illegal and can be very dangerous. Instead, you should continue driving to the next exit. This is the safest way to correct the mistake and avoid causing a collision or blocking traffic.
