Daytime running lights are required on large sections of the highway in Alaska
Wow, totally not being misleading here. /s The place we're talking about is in the lower 48 smart guy.
It probably has more to do with always on dashboards and infotainment systems in SUVs more then anything else.
Bikes should have daytime strobes and headlamps. Cars should always have their headlights on. Visibility reduces accidents.
This is so utterly car brained. Bicycles and Amish buggies aren't even remotely the ones making the danger here. Are we going to require stupid flashing beacons on pedestrians now to?? No, the solution here is a road diet, traffic calming, speed governors on SUVs, and modal separation.
There's no reason not to have lights on vehicles on the road.
Because it costs money to run lights, and good lights cost money. (https://www.bumm.de/en/products/akku-scheinwerfer/parent/1922/produkt/1922qmla.html)
This comment is surprisingly car brained. Just change a few words and see what it reads.
As others have said, a lot of these buggies are all black. And they're puttering around the road, on a dark nights, well under established speed limits. 2 vehicles traveling at very different speeds, the slow one is hard to see. That's just begging for an accident.

At least where I live, it is technically illegal to drive without headlights on when it's raining. If windshield wipers are required, so are headlights. This is to bolster visibility in poor weather conditions. Also just headlights in general, you can get pulled over & ticketed for driving at night without headlights. Why should the Amish be a dangerous exception to the rules of the road??

It would be interesting if separate bicycle infra ever makes its way to that part of Ohio. I wonder how the buggies would be treated in that case? Would they be permitted to ride on the bike paths, or would they only be allowed on certain parts of the paths?
In my apartment building they ripped out the carpeting and padding of the unit above me. I couldn't hear the residents that lived above me at all when there was carpet, but these new neighbors are making lots of footfall noises with the hard floors. It's close to a nightly basis with them. Their footfalls will keep me awake past 11 pm.
They just haven't rolled it out to you yet.
My colorization work this time comes from the U.S. National Archives. It's of Motor Machinists Mate Third Class Chester Jones Jr. meeting with his father Capt. Jones Sr. It was taken as he was came home from the Normandy Landings.
MM3 Jones served onboard one of the rescue cutters during the landings. These rescue cutters were able to save more then 1,400 men from drowning and certain death in the English Channel.
Here's one of my colorizations. It's of a Coast Guard landing party undergoing training party in the Pacific. The original comes from the Coast Guard Historian's Office.
If there are other cars going in the same direction on a 55 mph highway, the other lights do "combine" and allow you to see much farther then your own lights alone.
