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.
