STREETS AND HIGHWAYS, SIGNS AND SIGNALS

Repeat the underlined words. Then read the sentences.

#1 Top-down view of cars driving along marked lanes on a highway or street

Yellow and white lines mark the lanes on streets and highways.

You should stay in the right lane until you want to pass or go around another car.

#2 A standard traffic light with three circular signals

The red light means stop, and the green light means go.

When you see a yellow light, use caution. Be careful, because the light will turn red in a few seconds.

#3 A collection of various road signs including STOP, NO U TURN, ONE WAY, YIELD, right turn, and 25 MPH

A sign gives information or directions. Many signs tell drivers that they can't do something. Other signs show them that they can.

You should follow the directions on highway and street signs.

Sometimes signs show that you must make a turn slowly.

#4 A rectangular road sign stating SPEED LIMIT 55

The speed limit on the highways is 55 or 65 miles per hour.

The speed limit on city streets is usually 30 or 35 m.p.h.

#5 An octagonal STOP sign

A stop sign means that you must make a complete stop.

Don't just slow down.

#6 A driver extending his left arm straight out of the car window to signal a left turn

You may use signal lights or hand and arm signals.

This man is signaling because he's going to turn left.

#7 A view of cars merging onto a highway near a triangular YIELD sign

A yield sign tells you that you may have to slow down or stop.

When you see a yield sign, you must give the right-of-way to other vehicles.

TOO MANY SIGNS AND SIGNALS

#1 An intersection scene with a street sign and traffic light #2 A driver looking into the rear-view mirror while driving #3 A railroad crossing sign with tracks and a car passing

Repeat the underlined words. Then read the story.

Mark usually only drives on the highway with his father. Because he knows that he'll have to learn how to drive downtown sometime, he decided to try it this morning. He looked at a city street map in advance, but that didn't help him when he got downtown. The heavy traffic and all of the signs and signals there confused him.

First, he drove the wrong way for two blocks on a one-way street. He turned and got on a two-way street at the next intersection. Then he saw that some red and blue lights were flashing off and on behind him. Finally he realized that an emergency vehicle was following him. He had to slow down and pull over to the side of the road while it passed.

Then he came to a railroad crossing. The lights there were flashing, too. He knew that signal meant that he had to stop because a train was coming. He looked both ways, but he couldn't see it yet. He crossed the tracks carefully. Then he decided to go home. He was tired of trying to drive and watch signs and signals at the same time. He'll try it again another day.

WHAT KIND OF STREET IS THIS?

Answer the question about the picture.

EXAMPLE: Picture 1. Two streets cross here. What is it called? It's called an intersection.

WHAT'S THE TOPIC OF THE PARAGRAPH? WHAT'S THE MAIN IDEA?

Read the paragraph; then write the topic and the main (most important) idea.

EXAMPLE: A fever can be a symptom of other problems. A fever with an earache can mean that the person needs to see a doctor and take stronger medicine. A fever with a cough, a runny nose, and body aches can be more than just a cold. A fever and a stomachache together can be really bad.

Topic: fever

Main idea: A fever can mean that there are other problems.

  1. When you have colds, don't give them to other people. Cover your nose when you sneeze, and cover your mouth when you cough. Take your medicine, and follow your doctor's advice. When you have a fever, or your cold gets worse, stay home and rest. You'll get well quicker, and your friends and family will be happier. They don't want to catch your cold.

  1. "Be careful of the driver in the car behind the car ahead of you." This sentence looks confusing, but it's one of the most important rules in safe driving. Other drivers aren't the only ones who might be careless; we might make a careless mistake on the highway, too. We should worry about other drivers, but we should also be sure that we're driving cautiously.

  1. Many things tell us what a speed limit sign should say. One of them is the number of people who use the street, road, or highway. Another is the places that those people are going to. Are they traveling to work or to their homes? Are they on vacation? The kind of street, road, or highway also decides the speed limit. A high speed limit isn't safe on a narrow, curved road with only two lanes. Because a wide, straight road with many lanes is safer, the speed limit on it can be higher.
