City
Driving
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.
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.
