Did you know The City That banned Using Of Car As There Means Of Transport, since 1898 till date?


Unknown to a lot of people, there is a town in the U.S. that banned cars in the late 1890s. Mackinac Island, located in Lake Huron, between the lower and upper peninsulas of Michigan, is completely car-free since 1898. The small island is only about 8 miles around and lies in the Straits of Mackinac. The island’s name is French and has retained its French pronunciation.

The small island is home to only around 500 people but that number swells to 15,000 during tourism season. Transportation on Mackinac is limited to walking, horse-drawn carriages, and bicycling.

The Italian champions’ 2-0 win in Portugal three weeks earlier ensured they went into the second leg in a comfortable position, and there was to be no miraculous fightback from Porto when Maxi Pereira was sent-off for deliberate handball after 40 minutes. His indiscretion allowed Paulo Dybala to score from the penalty spot and Juventus went on to keep their sixth clean sheet in eight Champions League matches, extending an unbeaten run of home games that reaches back to August 2015.
