Rubie, Your previous posts have always been precise and factual to the point of being way beyond the ease of reading and I say that with the utmost respect. You are a gentleman and a scholar.
The second part of the above quoted post refers to the growing pangs in The Villages and surrounding communities. This is exactly why I think the speed limit on 466 should be lowered at least in the heavily commercialized area between Buena Vista and 301. I know that quite a few do not agree and that's ok but I feel that there are too many entrances and exits and too many drivers that don't know precisely when they need to turn either left or right due to unfamiliarity of the area, senior driving habits, or the "I'm retired and not in a hurry" attitude. Couple that with the still working class of drivers that are in a hurry and like to drive 5 mph over the speed limit because that is what is the nationally accepted amount over the speed limit is where supposedly you won't get a ticket and, you have a recipe for disaster. Then throw in the school zones and railroad crossing in the exact area I'm referring to. It can't happen but too bad an express lane couldn't be added. With all of the new construction going on in that area it's only gonna get worse. If I'm going to Wal-Mart I take 462 to 301 and avoid Buena Vista as much as I can but even that's an issue because it's very hard to make a right onto 301 where the speed limit is 55 mph. Another reason to shop online as much as possible. And now my index fingers need a rest..........
