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.
e
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.
