The Red Flag Act was enacted in 1865 to regulate automobile traffic. In Britain, where steam cars had developed into buses, pressure from horse-drawn carriage operators who had lost passengers to steam buses, and opposition from roadside residents due to the fumes and noise, led to the enactment of the Red Flag Act, which set a speed limit of 4 miles per hour (6.4 km/h) in suburban areas and 2 miles per hour (3.2 km/h) in urban areas, and required that a person carrying a red flag lead in front of a moving automobile to warn of approaching danger.

1865年にイギリスで制定された自動車の交通規制法令。蒸気自動車が乗合バスとして発達したイギリスでは,蒸気バスに旅客をとられた馬車運送業者の議会への圧力や煤煙や騒音による街道住民の反対運動によって,〈自動車は郊外で時速4マイル(6.4km/h)以下,市街では時速2マイル(3.2km/h)の速度制限とし,しかも自動車が走る前方を赤旗を持った者が先導し,危険物の接近を知らせなければならない〉という,いわゆる赤旗法が施行された。
