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.
