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.
Freeway
Driving
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.
