Complete the following statements by circling the correct words in parentheses. • Residential streets are found in (downtown urban areas/neighborhoods). • neighborhoods • Driving at (faster/slower) speeds is essential on residential streets. • slower • (Always/Sometimes) yield to pedestrians at intersections, whether or not crosswalks are painted on the street. • Always • When driving on residential streets, slow down (more than usual/less than usual) if your visibility is poor. • more than usual

  2. 5. Unless otherwise posted, the legal speed limit on residential streets is usually (25 mph/35 mph). 25 mph • 6. Children are the (secondary/primary) pedestrians on residential streets. primary • 7. (Always use/Avoid using) residential streets as shortcuts. Avoid using • 8.

If you are on the side of a residential street with parked cars, you (are/are not) required to pull in behind those cars and wait for oncoming traffic to pass. are

  3. B. FIND OUT MORE. Observe a residential street for one hour, and keep a log of potential hazards that you notice (e.g., children playing in the street or a vehicle backing out of a driveway). Keep in mind the SIPDE system from our class discussion and ppt. What are some of the hazards you noticed? What actions could you take to reduce risk of potential hazards? Explain what each letter of SIPDE means? S – I – P – D – E – Search Identify Predict Decide Execute

  4. STUDY GUIDE FOR CHAPTER 9 LESSON 2 Urban and Suburban Streets • A. What are the guidelines for managing visibility, time, and space in urban and suburban driving? Write at least three guidelines in each category Visibility 1 to 2 blocks ahead, keep low beams on, signal turns well in advance, check all mirrors, watch taillights, be alert for pedestrians, and watch signs and signals. Time Reduce speed, use SIPDE process, be alert in dense traffic, be ready to steer to avoid a collision, “cover” brakes in threatening situations, allow extra time, signal in advance. Identify 12-15 seconds ahead in urban driving. Space Don’t follow closely, always leave a margin of space between you and parked or moving vehicles, watch for people leaving parked vehicles, don’t drive in another driver’s blind spot.

  5. What special factors affect urban and suburban driving? • Traffic density • Number of pedestrians • Number of intersections • Slow or irregular traffic flow • Slower speed limits • Sight obstructions • Road defects C. FIND OUT MORE. The chapter lists some clues that indicate when the behavior of other drivers could be a potential problem or danger to you. What is one of them? Why would this action listed be a hazard?

  6. STUDY GUIDE FOR CHAPTER 9 LESSON 3 Multiple-Lane Expressways A. Finish each sentence below. Give as complete information as you can. • A limited-access, or controlled-access, highway allows vehicles to enter or to exit • only at specific places. • An expressway is a divided highway that has more than one with limited access • running in each lane direction. • A turnpike is a road or highway that requires drivers to • pay a toll. • A beltway is a highway that goes around • an urban area.

  7. A parkway is a wide, landscaped highway that may be limited • to noncommercial vehicles. • A deceleration lane allows vehicles • to reduce speed in order to exit a controlled-access expressway. 7. An acceleration lane lets vehicles increase speed to merge with traffic on a controlled-access expressway. 8. An interchange is a place where vehicles can enter or leave the expressway or connect with a highway that goes in another direction. B. FIND OUT MORE. Go online or look at a NJ road map/atlas. What are two limited access roads in New Jersey that have tolls? • NJ Turnpike • Garden State Parkway • What direction do both of these roads run? • North/South

  8. STUDY GUIDE FOR CHAPTER 9 LESSON 4 Rural Roads A. In the following sentences, two word choices are given. Circle the correct one. • 1. Traffic is generally (heavier/lighter) on country roads. lighter • 2. Country roads generally have (higher/lower) speed limits than city roads. higher • 3. Country roads have (more/fewer) traffic lights then city streets. fewer • 4. The greater risk of colliding with another vehicle is in the (country/city) city • 5. There is a greater risk of your car colliding with a fixed object in the (country/city). country • 6. If you are coming close to a rider on horseback, you (should/should not) use your horn to warn the rider. should not

  9. B. For each sentence below, circle T if the statement is true and F if it is false. Correct each false statement in the space below. • 1.Trees and shrubs growing near the roadway can limit visibility. True • 2.All country roads have shoulders. False - Country roads may or may not have shoulders. • 3.In the country you should not drive with your headlights on during the day. False - You should always drive with your low beam headlights on during the day. • 4.When approaching an animal near the road, you should drive slowly. True 5. Never pass on an uphill grade when you don’t have a clear path ahead. True

  10. FIND OUT MORE. Think about the major differences between city and country driving. • What do you think is the most dangerous city driving hazard? • What do you think is the most dangerous country driving hazard? • Where do you think more fatal collisions are likely to occur? Why? • BONUS QUESTIONS for DISCUSSION: • Where do more crashes occur? City Driving or Country Driving, WHY? • Where do more fatalities occur? City Driving or Country Driving, WHY?
