Best Answer

Horses and carriages are not allowed on highways unless they have a specific purpose and permit , such as filming a movie. However on any other type of road a horse and carriage is given either 'pedestrian right of way' or are treated as regular vehicles and must abide by traffic laws governing cars. For exact information regarding your local roadways you can and should contact the local Department of Motor vehicles , and possibly a local driving club (horse driving not car driving) for exact laws.

There are places where horses and riders may have to cross a road to continue with a trail ride. Signs are usually posted to alert drivers that there is a horse crossing.
