Your
Driving
and
the
Road
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
clearedtheintersection
or 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.
Freeway
Driving
AN461
003
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.
The most
important advice on
freeway driving
is: Keep up with
traffic and
keep
to
the right. Drive at the same speed most
of
the other drivers
are
driving. Too-fast or too-slow driving breaks a smooth traffic flow. Treat the
left
laneonafreeway
as apassinglane.
Entering
the
Freeway
At
the entrance there
is usuallyarampthatleads
to
the freeway.
If
youhave
a clear view
of
the freeway as you drive along the entrance ramp, you
should begin
to
check traffic. Try
to
determine where you expect
to blend
with
the
flow.
If
traffic
is light, you may have no problem.
But
if
it
is
heavy,
find a gap as you move along
the entering
lane and
time your approach.
