This is one that really gets to a lot of us here. You clearly see it on a daily basis where someone is driving in a lane and at last minute they realize that the lane they are in either leaves the highway/road or ends. The same is true for such cases where there are obstacles in the road or a vehicle is stalled in the lane, but when it comes to lane closures and highway exits there is clear signage before hand that lets people know what is coming up.

Driver’s need to learn to read the signs, read what is coming up and act accordingly. If the sign says no right turn on red, then that means no right turn on red. There are no exceptions. If the sign says the lane ends in 100 metres, you can be pretty sure that it ends in 100 metres. Driving is an experience, not a job or task that you do. While driving is concerned with going from A to B, it is also about arriving safely, smoothly, and being vigilant.

Moving out of exit lanes or ending lanes well before they end exit or end will ensure a safer trip and create less traffic on the roads. Stay alert and help yourself by reading the signs and knowing what is coming up ahead.
