Here are ways to increase your safety in city driving:

Know the best way to get to where you are going. Get a city map and plan 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 will save time and energy. See Freeway Driving on page 4-22.

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 cleared the intersection or may

be running the red light.

Freeway Driving

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.
