City
Driving
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.
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.
