What should you do when exiting a roadway?

When exiting a roadway, the proper action is to signal your intentions and move to the deceleration lane. This is essential for safe driving as it allows other drivers to anticipate your actions and gives you the appropriate space to reduce your speed before fully leaving the main roadway.

Using turn signals not only communicates your intent to other drivers, but it also plays a crucial role in maintaining traffic flow and preventing accidents. The deceleration lane is specifically designed for slowing down, which helps facilitate a smooth transition off the highway without interfering with the vehicles that are still traveling at higher speeds on the main road.

The other options involve actions that could compromise safety. For example, speeding up to make an exit can lead to loss of control and recklessness. Staying in the middle lane until the exit doesn't account for the necessary maneuvering to safely exit and could disrupt traffic. Stopping in the lane to let cars pass is hazardous, as it can create unexpected obstacles for other drivers and increase the risk of collisions.
