Understanding the Exit Sequence Sign

Exit Sequence

Where: On the left-hand side of a freeway, about 2 km before the first of several exits that lie close together, often serving the same town.

Purpose: To list those exits in order with the distance to each, so that you can pick the right one rather than taking the first that appears.

Action Required by Driver: Read the whole board before you act. Where exits are close together the common mistake is leaving at the first one because it carries a familiar name. Work out which line is yours, then hold your lane until that distance comes up.
