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’ll
save time and energy. (See the next section, “Freeway Driving.”)
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.
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 lane on a freeway as a passing lane.
At
the entrance there is usually a ramp that leads to the freeway. If you have
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. Try to merge into the gap at close to the prevailing speed.
Switch on your turn signal, check your mirrors and glance over your
shoulder as often as necessary.
Try
to blend smoothly with the traffic flow.
Once you are on the freeway, adjust your speed to the posted limit
or
to the
prevailing rate if it’s slower. Stay
in
the right lane unless you want to pass.
Before changing lanes, check your mirrors. Then use your turn signal.
