Galveston, TX – 5+ hours south of Carrollton<\/strong><\/h3>\nTo start, it is illegal for someone to drive a motor car down Broadway before noon on Sundays. We suggest avoiding the area during that time if at all possible. In addition to this, sitting on the sidewalk in Galveston can result in up to a $500 fine. Next time you want to take a break on the sidewalk, you might want to reconsider. Bicyclists in this town must operate at a \u201creasonable speed\u201d at all time as well, but the actual speed is never discussed.<\/p>\n
Harker Heights, TX – 2+ hours south of Carrollton<\/strong><\/h3>\nHere is one that will definitely make you go \u2018hmm\u2019. In Harker Heights, drivers of city vehicles must respect all traffic rules just like the rest of the drivers. We\u2019re trying to figure out if that\u2019s not the case in other cities. We were under the impressive all drivers were subject to the same rules, but apparently not according to this odd law.<\/p>\n
Lubbock County, TX – 5+ hours west of Carrollton<\/strong><\/h3>\nThis law is one of the most interesting and detailed ones to make our list. In Lubbock County, it is illegal to drive within an arm\u2019s length of alcohol. This does include alcohol in someone else\u2019s blood stream, so next time you\u2019re the designated driver you\u2019ll want to keep this in mind. If you do end up having to drive with someone who\u2019s been drinking in your car, they\u2019ll need to be sitting in the back seat.<\/p>\n
Richardson, TX – 15 minutes east of Carrollton<\/strong><\/h3>\nThese weird driving laws in Richardson are the closest we\u2019ll get to Carrollton. First of all, it\u2019s illegal to do a \u201cU Turn\u201d here. It is also illegal to put a \u2018For Sale\u2019 sign on a car if it can be seen from the street.<\/p>\n
