A highway running from west to east intersects with \( n \) equivalent roads, numbered from 1 to \( n \) sequentially. Cars travel on these roads from south to north and from north to south. The probability that a car will approach the highway via each road is \( \frac{1}{n} \). Similarly, the probability that a car will turn off the highway onto each road is \( \frac{1}{n} \). The road by which a car exits the highway is independent of where the car entered the highway.

Find the probability that a random car, which has entered the highway, will pass through intersection \( k \) (either drive through it completely or turn off at it).
