City
Drivirm
One
of
the biggest problems with city streets is the
amount
of
traffic on them.
You’ll
want
to
watch
out
for
what the other drivers are doing and pay attention
to
traffic signals.

Know the best way to get
to

Try
to
LIS~
the
freeways that rim
and
crisscross most
large cities.
You’ll
save time and energy. (See the

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.
