Bermuda Moves to Limit Cars and Uphold Horses in 1946 Act
Bermuda adopts Motor Car act 1946 limiting households to one car under 160 inches long and 70 inches wide with up to 10 horsepower. License fees, no used-car imports, five-year wait for a second car, mandatory car washing, and a 20 mph speed cap aim to keep horses as the primary road force, with trucks restricted and Sunday bans. The measure preserves the horse era while regulating tours for visitors.
