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.

Freeway Driving

Mile for mile, freeways (also called thruways, parkways,
expressways, turnpikes or superhighways) are the safest
of all roads. But they have their own special rules.
