On a highway trip, what planning step should you take in advance?

Planning ahead for a highway trip means knowing where you will enter and where you will exit before you start. This gives you time to position yourself in the right lane early, adjust your speed for ramps, and use signals smoothly when merging or leaving. Deciding in advance where you must enter and exit helps you navigate with fewer last-minute decisions, which reduces the chance of abrupt lane changes or weaving that can surprise other drivers and raise crash risk. It also keeps you on the right route and makes your timing more predictable for yourself and others. Other options don’t fit because choosing the closest exit can send you off track and create risky last-minute maneuvers, listening to music loudly is a distraction, and following the car in front too closely leaves you with less time to react to exits or merges.
