City Driving - GMC YUKON DENALI 2000 Manual

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:
D
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.
D
Try to use the freeways that rim and crisscross most
large cities. You'll save time and energy. (See the
next part, "Freeway Driving.")
D
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.
