Your
Driving
and
the
Road
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.
Obey all posted speed limits. But remember that they are for ideal road,
weather and visibility conditions. You may need
to
drive below the
posted limit in bad weather or when visibility
is
especially poor.
Pull
to
the right (with care) and stop clear of intersections when you see
or hear emergency vehicles.

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.
The most important advice on freeway driving is: Keep up with traffic and
keep
to
the right. Drive at the same speed most of the other drivers are
driving. Too-fast or too-slow driving breaks a smooth traffic flow. Treat the left
lane on a freeway as a passing lane.
Entering the Freeway
At
the entrance there is usually a ramp that leads
to
the freeway.
If
you have
a clear view of the freeway as you drive along the entrance ramp, you
should begin
to
check traffic. Try
to
determine where you expect to blend
with the flow.
If
traffic is light, you may have no problem.
But
if
it
is
heavy,
find a gap as you move along the entering lane and time your approach.
