In the event of a traffic jam on an express way, what should you do?

Staying in the queue you are in during a traffic jam on an expressway is the correct approach for several reasons.

Firstly, expressways are designed for high-speed traffic, and changing lanes frequently can create confusion and increase the risk of accidents. In a traffic jam, other drivers are also likely to be engaged in the same behavior, leading to a chaotic and unsafe situation.

Secondly, leaving your vehicle to find another route is not advisable due to safety concerns. Exiting your vehicle can expose you to other vehicles on the road, and it might not be feasible to walk to another route safely. Additionally, trying to navigate through blocked traffic can lead to more congestion and further complicate the situation.

Lastly, driving in the opposite direction to bypass the jam is extremely dangerous and illegal. It endangers not only your safety but also the safety of other road users.

In summary, remaining in your lane and waiting for the traffic jam to clear is the safest and most responsible action, allowing traffic to maintain an orderly flow and reducing the risk of accidents.
