What should you do when you encounter a WRONG WAY sign?

Explanation:
When you see a wrong way sign, you’re being warned that traffic ahead is moving in the opposite direction of yours. The safest move is to not go past the sign. Continuing would put you head-on with vehicles coming toward you, which is extremely dangerous. So slow down and stop if you can do so safely, then turn around or find a safe, legal place to re-enter the correct direction. If you haven’t passed the sign yet, do not enter; if you have, look for the next safe opportunity to exit or make a legal turnaround. The core idea is to avoid proceeding beyond the sign and redirect yourself to travel the proper way.
