Here are ways to increase your safety
in
city driving:
0
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.

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.
