高速公路—Highway

I sometimes drive to work in the morning. I get on the highway near my house at Exit 219, heading southbound toward downtown. The three-lane highway is often congested that time of morning, but I use the carpool lane that's reserved for cars with two or more passengers. I usually travel with a colleague to work. If I'm traveling to work by myself, then I usually stay in the right lane unless I'm passing another vehicle. I always drive the speed limit because I don't want to get pulled over for speeding. Furthermore, it's much safer to drive the speed limit than to speed and cause an accident. I also make sure I use my turn signals as I change lanes, and I maintain a safe distance behind the car in front of me. Once you reach the city, the traffic slows, and you often have to drive bumper-to-bumper for a few miles. I get off the highway downtown. If you haven't driven this stretch of highway before, I suggest you buy a road map to help you navigate¹ yourself around town.
