A City In USA Where Cars Have Been Banned For Over 100 Years. by saintbillion(m): 9:38pm On Jul 26, 2023 |
Welcome to Mackinac Island, where cars have been banned since 1898. Located just offshore of mainland Michigan, in Lake Huron, Mackinac Island and its namesake city have long been a favorite spot for a relaxing getaway. So, when automobiles first began to arrive, loudly sputtering along the island's once-quiet roadways, startling horses and spitting out smoke, it quickly became apparent to locals that this new invention was not for them. https://www.treehugger.com/one-city-in-america-where-cars-have-been-banned-4857076 1 Like

And here in Nigeria 🇳🇬, Tinubu has indirectly banned the average Nigerian from driving cars by hijacking the PMS price 6 Likes 1 Share |

It made sense. Even if they didn't ban cars, I don't see how you can drive there. It's a very small island, surrounded by water. You cant drive in and out. Goree Island in Senegal also has no cars. There is no official policy to ban cars there, but if you check it on the map, it just made no sense for cars to exist on Goree Island. It's so small and surrounded by water, you can only enter there by boat. 6 Likes 1 Share |

Kingabia1998: You're weird and foolish thats why neither of your parents claim you. Horse drawn carriages were abandoned for automobiles for reason. Even these guys know it's inefficient because they made an exception for emergency services. 3 Likes |

Kingabia1998:What are you even saying? What he said was true, poop was one of the reasons cars were quickly adopted. Cities smelled a lot then. Only for you to start talking about electric vehicles. Na children truly full this nairaland. 1 Like 1 Share |

saintbillion: Quite cool a policy and for them to have maintained that for a century is something to be proud of. At least, the gap between the rich and the poor is somewhat bridged. However, there are police cars, ambulances, fire trucks and other emergency vehicles. 1 Like |
