City Driving Here are ways to increase your safety in city driving: Know the best way to get to where you are going. Get acity map and plan your trip into unknown an part of the city just as you would for a cross-country trip. 0 Try to use the freewaysthat rim and crisscross most large cities. You'll save time and energy. (See the next part, "Freeway Driving.") 0 Treat a green light as a warning signal. A traffic light is there because the corner isbusy enough to need it. When a light turns green, and just before you start to move, check both ways for vehiclesthat have not cleared the intersection or maybe running the red light. One of the biggest problems with city streets is 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. 4-19
