Driving Florence, Alabama

It is illegal to drive a vehicle faster than a horse's walking pace in city limits.

Status: Historical / Repealed

The Law Explained

At the dawn of the automotive era, early cars were loud, completely unregulated, and absolutely terrified the local populace. To keep the streets safe for pedestrians and livestock, the city simply applied the existing speed limit of a walking horse to these newfangled machines. It is an automotive fossil that accidentally survived decades of modernization in the municipal code.
