Can't answer for Tennessee, but in Minnesota we had several communities of Amish, also Hutterites. They were legal on the streets and roads (not on freeways) as long as they had an orange triangle slow moving vehicle placard on the back of their buggy.
There were no problems with the locals but occasionally an out-of-towner (stater?) would venture into the areas they frequented and sometimes there would be an accident, even though the towns where they shopped and sold items had plenty of signs indicating that there would be Amish buggies around.
