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.
