Riders who are obliged to ride their horses on busy streets and highways today may wish that some of these laws were still enforced. For example, in Pennsylvania, if a driver sees a horse-drawn carriage coming toward him, he must pull over, cover his car with a blanket so as not to frighten the horses, and allow them to pass. In Indiana and New Jersey, it is against the law for a car to pass a horse and carriage on the street.

I'm not sure that a law in South Carolina wouldn't cause more chaos than it hoped to alleviate. The law states that drivers of automobiles must stop 100 yards from an intersection and fire a shot into the air to warn horse traffic of their approach. And in Kansas, all cars entering town must sound their horn to warn horse riders of their arrival. In Forest City, North Carolina, you are required to stop at the outskirts of town and call City Hall before entering, to allow the townsfolk to go outside and hold their horses while you drive through town!
