I assume it means It’s illegal on a 2-lane road to try to overtake a vehicle that is itself trying to overtake a vehicle. Imagine a country road with speeding car C coming upon slow wagon A being passed by moderately moving car B. C has to let B get ahead of A before it has the legal right to zoom pass them both.

In Milwaukee WI it is illegal to park a car on a city street with a “For Sale” sign posted on or in the car where it is visible to passers by. That restriction does not apply, however if the car is parked on private property or in motion.

In PA, still on the books:
Any motorist who sights a team of horses coming toward him must pull well off the road, cover his car with a blanket or canvas that blends with the countryside, and let the horses pass.

Motorized vehicles are not to be sold on Sundays.

In Pittsburgh, It is still illegal to bring a donkey or a mule onto a trolley car.

In Tarentum, Horses are not to be tied to parking meters.

In Carlisle, In the middle of town, one must pay a fee of $50 dollars a year to park on a particular block.

In Alabama, It is legal to drive the wrong way down a one-way street if you have a lantern attached to the front of your automobile.

The 10th amendment is meaningless:

“The Tenth Amendment was intended to confirm the understanding of the people at the time the Constitution was adopted, that powers not granted to the United States were reserved to the states or to the people. It added nothing to the instrument as originally ratified and has no limited and special operation, as is contended, upon the people’s delegation by article 5 of certain functions to the Congress.”
