Your Driving and the Road 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 and other drivers are doing pay attention to traffic signals. Here are ways to increase your safety in city driving: 0 Know the best way to get to where you are going. Try not to drive around trying to pick outa familiar street or landmark. Get a city map and plan your trip into an unknown part of the city just asyou would for a cross-country trip. 0 0 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 because the corner is busy enough to need it. When a light turns green, andjust before you start to move, check both ways for vehicles that have not cleared the intersectionor may be running the red light. Obey all posted speed limits.But remember that they are for ideal road, weather and visibility conditions. You may need to drive below the posted limit in bad weather or when visibility is especially poor. Pull to the right (with care) and stop clear of intersections when you see or hear emergency vehicles. 9 160
