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.

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

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.
