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:
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.
0
Try to
use
the freeways that rim and crisscross most
large cities. You’ll save time and energy. (See the
next part, “Freeway Driving.”)
0
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.
