The Law

A straightforward but highly specific law that prohibits cars, trucks, and motorcycles from cruising down pedestrian pathways. It was enacted when early automobiles were sharing unpaved roads with pedestrians and horses, creating absolute chaos. The only exception is if you are directly turning into a permanent driveway.
