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:
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.
