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 city map and plan your trip intoan unknown part of the city just asyou would for a cross-country trip. Try to use the freeways that rim and crisscross most large cities. You'll save time and energy. (See the next part, "Freeway Driving.") Treat a green light as a warning signal. A traffic light is there because the corneris 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. One of the biggest problems with city streets is the amount of traffic on them.You'll want to watch out for doing and pay attention to what the other drivers are traffic signals. 4-20
