Get a city map andplan 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 section, "Freeway Driving.") Treat a green light as a warning signal. A traffic light is there becausethe 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 ormay be running the red light. Obey all posted speed limits. But remember that they are forideal road, weather and visibility conditions. You may need to drive below the posted limit in bad weather or when visibility is especially poor. 0 0
