Freeways & High-Speed RoadsStandalone practice
You drive in the right lane of an interstate. You see too late that the ramp to your exit has already split off to the right. The next exit is 4 miles ahead. What should you do?
Correct answer: Drive to the next exit, leave the interstate there, and find a legal way back.
Why
Freeway traffic moves fast, so a car that stops, backs up or cuts across the painted area creates a danger that other drivers do not expect. Rhode Island law allows backing only when it is safe and does not interfere with traffic, and it lets you leave a limited-access highway only at an established exit. Plan your route before you start, and read the exit signs well ahead.
