The time/distance you should look ahead down the road is know as your eye-lead time. What is the recommended eye-lead time in a city?
Answer 15 seconds
Looking down the road allows drivers to respond to hazards. Eye-lead time on the highway should be about 20 to 30 seconds. When traveling about 60 mph, that's about 550 yards ahead. Eye-lead time in the city is about half as long, at 12 to 15 seconds or around 2 city blocks.
