What it means

Green signs guide: this one names the exit number, the road it reaches, and how far away it is. Exit numbers usually match the mile markers.

What you should do

Plan your lane early, move into the exit lane in good time, and slow down on the ramp itself, not on the freeway.

Memory trick

Green never warns and never orders. It is the map, painted on metal.

The mistake drivers make

Braking hard in the through lane at the last moment. If you miss the exit, continue to the next one; never stop or reverse on a freeway.
