Discover The Craziest Traffic Laws

By Beryl Dalton


They say when you have been to New York, you can be anywhere in the world. It is a famous state in America and with very busy streets. Before you plan on a trip to go there on a vacation with your friends, make sure you know the basic traffic rules. Some of them can be really bizarre.

You have seen the state in movies and in music videos. Famous singer like Alicia Keys and Frank Sinatra made songs as ode to New York. Both singers belong to different time frames in history which is an indication that the impression of people towards the place has not changes throughout the decades. In order for you to get know the place better, apart from listening to these songs and watching movies, you have to roam around the city and learn the basics about NY traffic.

They have certain rules and regulations with corresponding sanctions and fees when violated. From traffic control and signs to parking and behavior while driving or while in a parked car, they have all the rules set to keep order and harmony. They also have a set of ordinances against drunk drivers and those who are over speeding. These are the basics and you can commonly hear this whichever state you may go.

There are also existing crazy road laws. New York also has a weird side as weird as Massachusetts which penalizes anyone who has a gorilla in the backseat of their vehicle. In Minnesota, people driving a dirty truck will be sanctioned with two thousand dollars. Such a pain in the pocket. In Sag Harbor, New York, you are not allowed to get undressed inside your own car or along the streets where many people can see you.

The irony is that Sag Harbor is famous for its beautiful beaches. You will be surprised if you disrobe to go for a plunge, you will be ticketed by an officer with a hundred dollar fine. This is regarded as one of the most ridiculous laws in all of America and not everyone knows about this so many tourists usually get sanctioned.

Even if you will try to explain that you just want to have fun with your friends and have a short time swimming, you will be given a ticket that you have violated that traffic law. This violation is equivalent to a hundred dollar payment. The worse thing is that you can go to jail for three months.

People find this ridiculous because New York is known for its famous beaches, including the one in Sag Harbor. The authorities expect people to be fully dressed as they enter the beach. So people get furious at the fact that they cannot have fun at Sag Harbor beaches.

There are more states that have crazy road rules. Nevada for instance, they prohibit anyone to ride a camel while on the streets. If you park in front of a Dunkin Donut store in Maine, you will get sanctioned. Do not read a comic book while you are in Oklahoma streets driving. And if you want to go to Maryland, drop your curses and keep your language clean while on traffic even if you are utterly infuriated by a reckless driver.

Make sure you take note of all these weird traffic rules so that you will not be shocked if you did something you think is completely normal. But it is completely not normal riding a camel along the highway. And it is downright nonsense to go on a beach escapade with full clothing on. So, good luck on your trip.
