Watch Savannah Horse Carriage Drivers Not Maintaining 500 Feet Distance
Horse carriages in Savannah are governed by the “Code of General Ordinances, Article S, Horse Drawn Carriages for Hire.”
Section 6-1566 of the Savannah horse drawn carriage ordinance states:
“Sec. 6-1589. Horse-drawn carriage loading and spacing. It shall be unlawful for any horse-drawn carriage company to load at any one time more than three horse-drawn carriages from any approved stand for the purpose of conducting tours. When the carriages leave the stand they shall either (a) start out three minutes apart or (b) take different routes. After leaving the stand the carriages shall remain separated by a distance of not less than 500 feet. The loading spacing of horse-drawn carriages shall not be restricted on Saturdays, Sundays and after 6:00 p.m. through 12:00 midnight Monday through Friday.”
