Incompatible modes of transport
In 1865, shortly after the first steam-powered horseless carriage appeared on English highways, Parliament ordered that a man must precede it on foot, carrying a red flag by day or a
lantern by night, to warn others of the impending noise. At least three people were employed to drive or conduct such a locomotive — if more than two wagons or carriages were attached an additional person was required. While any locomotive was in motion, one employee had to go ahead of the locomotive on foot carrying a red flag warning the riders and drivers of horses of the approach. They also were responsible for signalling to the driver when to stop and assist any horses or carriages that got spooked by the noise. Vermont passed a similar law in 1894, requiring the owner of a steam-propelled vehicle to have a "person of mature age … at least one-eighth of a mile in advance of" the vehicle, to warn those with livestock of its approach. At night this person was required to carry a red light. Both measures were repealed in 1896 — by which time the internal combustion engine was already being developed.
