Cify Driving course you want to respect another's property, but you might need put to something between and moving you vehicles-space, trees, telephone poles, a private driveway, anything that removes you fromother traffic. If visibility is near zero and you must stop but are unsure whether you are away fromthe road, turn your hghts on, start your hazard warning flashers, and sound yourhorn at intervals or when you hear approaching traffic. Pass other vehicles in fog onlyif you can see far enough ahead to pass safely. Even then, be preparedto delay your pass if you suspect the fog is worse up ahead. If other vehicles try to pass you, make it easy forthem. One of the biggest problemswith city streets is the amount of traffic on them. You'll want to watch out for whatthe other drivers are doing and pay attention totraf€ic signals. Here are ways to increase your safety in city driving: Know the best way to get to where you are going. Try not to drive around trying to pick out a familiar street or landmark. Geta city mapand plan your trip into an unlmown part of the city just as you would for crossa country trip. Try to use the freeways that rim and crisscross most large cities. You'll save timeand energy. (See the next section, Freway Driving.) Treat a green lightas a warning signal. A traffic light is there because the corner is busy enoughto need it. When a light turns green, and just before you start tomove, checkboth ways for vehiclesthat have not cleared the intersection or may be running the red light. Obey all posted speed limits. But remember that they are for idealroad, weather and visibility conditions. You may needto drive belowthe posted limit in bad weather or when visibility is especially poor. Pull to theright (with care) and stop clear of intersections when you see or hear emergency vehicles.
