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.
