Suggestion: Learn how to read a paper map and always carry them with you in the car.

Most cities have bypasses or beltways/loops so you don't have to enter the central city. If you have to go into a city, stay on the interstate or some other freeway or toll road. Apps like Waze can warn you of congestion or speed traps, but by all means use a paper map. Also, wait until you are well beyond the beltway to get your gasoline.
