ANNAPOLIS, MD — The Maryland State Highway Administration is warning motorists of an increase in horse and buggy traffic in Southern and Western Maryland this month.
Citing the fact that Maryland has a significant Amish population, especially in Southern and Western Maryland, the MSHA says, “November is the month that our Amish neighbors celebrate weddings. Generally, these occur on Tuesdays and Thursdays.”
Please keep an eye out for an increased number of horse-drawn carriages when traveling on these days, warns the Highway Administration, asking motorists to slow down when you see signs indicating there is a known Amish population.
