branch off

[dilodi83]

Could you tell me the opposite of this verb in this context?

- After a while we branched off the highway and I left him where he wanted to be dropped off.

I think in this sentence branch off means to leave a road, but is get into/go into the opposite of this verb? Which verb do I have to use when I begin driving in a different road or street?
