Cars-Free Zone

If you live near an Amish enclave, you’ve likely encountered the enchanting sight of them traveling in their distinctive horse-drawn buggies along bustling roads. While they eschew driving, the presence of automobiles in their surroundings isn’t a foreign concept.

The Amish view car ownership as a potential catalyst for forsaking their faith, a symbolic link to affluence and modern society’s trappings. Consequently, car ownership is strictly prohibited. In situations necessitating travel for business engagements or other purposes, the Amish rely on individuals outside their community to chauffeur them.
