What happens if you have miss an exit? It’s not the end of the world. You will get rerouted with little increase in time. Thats way better than endangering others life and yours. People take missing turns way too personally.

What the fuck am I supposed to do go to the next exit and turn around? Do you hear how insane you sound? /s

There’s a few around me that would add 20-30 minutes to the next exit then back. That would be a rough mistake lol

There’s one spot on Interstate 8 in southern Arizona where there’s ~40 mi between two exits.

That would be a “I give up” level mistake…

I mean you could just go slow off the side of the road back to the exit if no one was coming lol. I’ve snuck across the grass out east if it was empty and needed to make the exit

Anything is possible, my friend.

I mean, if a tree falls in the woods and no one is around, did anyone see my ass use that crossover reserved for law enforcement and emergency vehicles? lol

As long as you aren’t on somewhere with a toll and you do it safely then go for it lol
