City Driving - GMC 1996 Sonoma Owner's 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:
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. Yo11'lI save time and energy. (See the
next part, "Freeway Driving.")
Treat
tl
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
~~~~~~ed the intersection or may be running the
red 1 igh
