Automobiles for Charlottetown

Prince Edward Island has long been accused of being slow to "get with the times" and, even when we do make a change, we do it in increments.
Just look at the Sunday shopping legislation. (First, certain kinds of businesses were allowed to open Sundays; then all operators could open the four Sundays before Christmas; next Sunday shopping was open Victoria Day to Christmas. Finally, the decision to open or close on Sundays was handed over to the business community just last year.)
The same was true for automobiles. First banned in the 1910s, by 1913 Prince Edward Island began opening up the roads to motor vehicles -- within Charlottetown and the Royalties, and only on certain days of the week:

Those residents of Charlottetown and Royalty who may have motor-cars stored away in hiding may bring them out to-day for an airing, and more than that indeed, without any fear of transgressing the law and risking a prosecution and the infliction of a heavy penalty. At the meeting of the Executive Council yesterday it was decided to allow the running of motor cars within the city and the Royalty, such use, however, to be confined, in the terms of the Act, to Mondays, Wednesdays and Thursdays.
This was undoubtedly the most important and most interesting subject dealt with at the meeting of the Executive, before whom it came in the form of a petition for bringing into operation the act permitting the running of motor vehicles, which was passed at the last session of the Legislature.
The petition was signed by nearly 1,700 electors of Charlottetown, and Royalty, who submitted that "whereas an act permitting the running of motor vehicles on Mondays, Wednesdays and Thursdays was passed at the last session of the legislature, such Act to be put in force by the order of the Governor-in-Council; now we do pray that such Act be at once put in force permitting the operation of motor vehicles along Charlottetown and Royalty on the days provided in the Act."
As stated above, the Council have granted the prayer of the petitioners, and now motor vehicles may be run in the city and along the roads of the Royalty on the prescribed days mentioned.

You couldn't drive your motorcar on Tuesdays, Fridays, and Saturdays, of course, because that would interfere with market traffic. 

And Sundays ... well, we all know how long it takes Islanders to be allowed to do anything but contemplate Scripture on the Christian Sabbath!
