Question: Which U.S. island has banned cars since 1898, requiring visitors to travel by horse, bicycle, or foot?
Answer: Michigan’s Mackinac Island outlawed “horseless carriages” in 1898 after they spooked horses, and it still forbids nearly all motor vehicles today. Locals and tourists get around by horse-drawn carriage or bike—making it one of the only U.S. communities where cars remain illegal.
