ODOT study: Northern county roads most dangerous for Amish buggies

July 20, 2020

Every day on Ohio roadways, semitrailers, cars and trucks traveling more than 50 mph zip past horse-drawn buggies clip-clopping along at a 6-mph pace.

Millions of drivers share the highways with over 76,000 Amish and Mennonite travelers. The mix is especially dangerous in Ashland, Wayne and Holmes counties. A recent study by the Ohio Department of Transportation found this area has some of the most dangerous routes for buggies. Results of the 2019 Statewide Amish Travel Study, which identifies high-priority roads and recommends improvements, could bring more state funding to make those roads safer.

“ Before you came to speak, I mistakenly assumed that the Amish had a good sense of the Bible and how important it is to be saved. Because of my assumption, I didn’t worry about them and did not include them in my prayers. I didn’t think I needed to. Now, I know differently. Thank you for opening my eyes to their plight. I will be praying for you and your family and your mission. ” - Ravenna, OH
