City DrivingOne of the biggest problems with city streets is theamount of traffic on them. You’ll want to watch outfor what the other drivers are doing and pay attention totraffic signals.Here are ways to increase your safety in city driving:Know the best way to get to where you aregoing. Get a city map and plan your trip into anunknown part of the city just as you would for across-country trip.Try to use the freeways that rim and crisscross mostlarge cities. You’ll save time and energy. (See thenext part, “Freeway Driving.”)Treat a green light as a warning signal. A traffic lightis there because the corner is busy enough to need it.When a light turns green, and just before you startto move, check both ways for vehicles that have notcleared the intersection or may be running the red light.4-21
