An LSV, which must be licensed, has a maximum speed of 25 MPH and uses roads with a maximum speed limit of 35 MPH.
A diamond lane is used by bikes and golf carts.
There are essentially 3 types of roads in The Villages: Neighborhood streets with no diamond lane that golf carts can use, roads with diamond lanes and golf carts can ride in the diamond lanes, and other roads with higher speed limits but no diamond lanes and LSVs can use if the speed limit is 35 MPH.
The MMPs are for pedestrians, golf carts, and bikes.
Most of the TV is 35 MPH or less, maybe a fewer higher areas.
You can't legally go faster than 25 MPH (LSV). Golf carts are limited to 20 MPH.
You can get from the squares to your house via golf cart.

The MMP are golf cart only lanes? Is most of TV 35mph or less?
At this point I see myself getting a gas cart, mainly for the range. I would like to go faster than 25, is that an option from the dealer or actually illegal? Not having been in a golf cart doing 25 I may be crazy to want to go faster. Is wanting to go 30-35+ nuts or even possible?
A big concern, which I hope is unfounded, is that I’ll not be able to get from home to the squares via golf cart due to a section of roadway with a higher speed limit.
I didn’t mean to take this thread off topic. I’ll not post anymore of these general golf cart questions on this thread.
I will be visiting TV in the next couple months, it should be clearer to me at that time. Thanks.
