1. A method, comprising:
detecting, by a processor of a transport that is currently travelling along a road, an exit for leaving the road;
determining, by the processor of the transport, via a blockchain ledger, a probability of the transport exiting the road safely at the detected exit based on a current speed of the transport, a distance from the transport to the detected exit, and a position of a different transport on the road;
requesting, by the processor of the transport, the different transport to alter one or more of a speed and a lane of the different transport based on the determined probability; and
responsive to sensing one or more of an altering of the speed and the lane change by the different transport, triggering the transport to exit the road at the detected exit.
