Explanation
City driving is considered more dangerous than expressway driving due to the presence of cross traffic and pedestrians. In the urban environment, numerous intersections, traffic signals, and pedestrians create a complex and dynamic driving scenario. Cross traffic at intersections introduces the risk of collisions, requiring drivers to be vigilant and make split-second decisions. Pedestrians, who often share the road, can be unpredictable, requiring constant attention. On the other hand, expressways/freeways are designed for high-speed, uninterrupted travel, minimizing the potential for conflicts compared to the complex conditions in city driving.
