in 1908, members of the legislature voted unanimously to ban all automobiles from Prince Edward Island. Thanks Andrew P !












 Ultimately the benefits of the new "automobile tourism" could not be ignored. 

The ban was partially lifted in 1913, allowing motoring on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays.

 In 1918, the act was revoked altogether.
