Rosa misses her exit on an expressway. She stops on the right shoulder, turns on her hazard lights and backs up about 200 feet to reach the exit ramp. Which statement is correct?
Rosa’s east-facing blue car A is on the right shoulder beyond a branching exit. A white arrow points backward; the cards state that her hazards are on and she backs about 200 feet toward the missed exit.
Correct answer: She broke the law, because no one may back up on an expressway shoulder or roadway
Why
The manual warns against backing up on a ramp and against any try to drive across the median. If you miss your exit, stay on the expressway to the next exit, leave there, and then find your way back. To avoid a missed exit, read the exit signs early, move into the correct lane in good time and signal at least 100 feet before the ramp.
