Two points.

If you make speeding self funding and paid for by ticket collections, you will end up with another Waldo right here in The Villages. Every time LEO are given quotas for tickets, it's a self fulfilling prophesy. Not a good plan at all. I also have seen several speed traps recently so watch out for them, they are out there.

Roundabouts.

They are nothing more then a traffic light replacement. Pretend your at 466 and Buena Vista. If you wanted to turn right, you would be in the right lane before you got to the light. If you wanted to turn left, you would be in the left lane before you got to the light. If you were going straight through either lane works. And you would always yield to a vehicle already in the intersection. Treat any traffic circle exactly the same.

Those that enter on the right and go 3/4 the way around are breaking the law just as you would be if you approached a traffic light in the right lane and made a left turn. It's called reckless driving and you can and should be ticketed for it. If you cause an accident by someone going straight through and you hit them when they turn in front of you because you are in the right lane going 3/4 the way around, you are at fault.
