Explanation
Expressway driving is different - and often safer - than driving on regular roads. On expressways, traffic typically moves at higher speeds and in greater volumes, so you must drive faster and think more quickly. Safe expressway driving requires full awareness, constant alertness, and the ability to react quickly to changing conditions. You’ll need to scan your surroundings continuously and be prepared for unexpected hazards. One advantage of expressways is that you won’t encounter pedestrians, bicycles, traffic signals, or railroad crossings, which reduces distractions and interruptions.
