Narrative:
On final approach to runway 4 at lga, we were advised by the tower controller to keep our speed up as traffic behind was closing. We landed and during rollout, in an attempt to clear promptly, we asked tower if he wanted a right turn onto the runway 13. Both the first officer and I thought we heard him say 'make the turn,' so we did. Apparently, there was some sort of miscom with the tower because the ground controller, once contacted, advised us he did not think our turnoff was such a good idea. After gate arrival, we called the tower on the landline to explain and we both agreed there was miscom between us and the tower controller. As far as we know, no traffic conflicts were created.
