I called Sumter County several months ago and they said that a survey was done and TV did not feel 20 MPH speed limit signs were necessary since they had one at each entrance. We have golf carts and cars and contractor trucks going up to 35 MPH on the neighborhood streets. If people speed when there are posted speed limit signs then what do we think they will do with no speed limit signs? I would say there are very few new residents in any of the new villages that know the max speed on streets with homes is 20MPH!

See, you were right, most don’t know.
