Driving in Countryside as a New Driver
Countryside's location in the western Cook County suburban network means drivers can move quickly between local streets, commercial arterials, and regional routes. New drivers should practice lane selection before major intersections and understand how local streets connect with surrounding communities.
A good practice habit is to identify the next two turns before beginning a trip. That reduces the temptation to make sudden lane changes when approaching an unfamiliar intersection.
