City Driving Here are ways to increase your safety in city driving: Know the best way to get to where you are going. Get a citymap and plan your trip intoan unknown partof 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 timeand energy. (See the next part, "Freeway Driving.") Treat a green light asa warning signal. A traffic light is there because the corner is busy enough to need it. When a light turns green, just before you and start tomove, check both ways for vehicles that have not cleared the intersection or be running the may red light. One of the biggest problems with city streetsis the amount of traffic on them. You'll want to watch out for what the other drivers are doing and pay attention to traffic signals.
