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.
