What should you do if you discover you're driving in the wrong direction on the Autostrada?

When driving on the Autostrada, safety is the top priority. If you realize you are headed in the wrong direction, the best course of action is to continue to the next authorized exit. This approach allows you to safely leave the highway without making dangerous maneuvers that could jeopardize your safety and that of other drivers.

Exiting at the nearest authorized exit is critical because it avoids potential accidents that could occur if you attempted to make a U-turn or cut across the grass center strip. Such actions can create severe risks, including collisions with oncoming traffic. Instead, by following the road rules and exiting properly, you can regroup and re-enter the Autostrada in the correct direction with minimal risk. This method aligns with traffic regulations and emphasizes responsible driving behavior.
