City Driving
I
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
t r a f k
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.
