Here are ways to increase
your
safety in city driving:
Know the best way to get to where you are going.
Get a city map and plan your trip into an unknown
part of the city just as you would for a cross-country
trip.
Try to use the freeways that rim and crisscross most
large cities.
You’ll
save time and energy. (See the,
next part, “Freeway Driving.”)

Treat a green light as a warning signal.
A
traffic
light
is
there because the corner is busy enough to need it.
When
a
light turns green, and just before you start to
move, check both ways for vehicles that have not
cleared the intersection or may be running the red
light.
Mile for mile, freeways
(also
called thruways, parkways,
expressways, turnpikes or superhighways) are the safest
of
all
roads. But they have their own special rules.
