1. You cannot cross Hwy 42 at all. You can travel on the residential roads and Multi Modal Paths (MMP) that are south of 42, and you can get into the shopping area, VA, gas station, and Mulberry Rec Center from these routes.
2. You cannot drive on Buena Vista, not even to cross. There are MMP's along it entire length (42 to Brownwood) and a number of MMP tunnels to get from one side of Buena Vista to the other.
3. You cannot drive on El Camino, but you can cross it at the light at Enrique & Botello (the village of Alhambra). There is a MMP along the entire route and there are also a couple of MMP tunnels.
4. You cannot drive on Buenos Aires, not even to cross.
5. You can only drive on the MMP or in the marked bike/cart lane along Morse Blvd from El Camino to 466.
6. You cannot drive on 23/441, not even to cross. There is a cart bridge going over 23/441 near Spanish Springs to the Historic section.
7. You cannot drive out of the north end of the Historic section (village of Orange Blossom Gardens) to Lowes & Cracker Barrel without a gate card to get back into The Villages.
8. You cannot drive on Griffin Ave (near Home Depot), not even to cross.
9. You cannot drive on CR 101 (near Southern Trace Shopping Center), not even to cross. There is a MMP tunnel near the shipping center to get from one side to the other.
10. You cannot drive on CR 103 (near Walmart), not even to cross. There is a MMP tunnel at Wedgewood Ln to get from one side to the other.
11. You cannot drive on 466, not even to cross. There are 3 MMP tunnels under 466 (near Morse Blvd, near Buena Vista, and at Belvedere Blvd.)
12. You cannot drive on CR 472/Rainey Trail, except to cross into the village of Lake Miona Shores and Lynnhaven at Lynnhaven Ln.
13. You cannot drive on Morse Blvd or Buena Vista Blvd south of 466, not even to cross. There are MMP's along these roads and a number of MMP tunnels to get from one side to another.
14. You cannot drive on 466A, not even to cross. There are 2 MMP tunnels under 466 (near Morse Blvd and near Buena Vista Blvd).
15 You cannot drive on 44, not even to cross. There are 2 MMP bridges over 44 (near Brownwood and near Morse Blvd).
16. You cannot drive on Morse Blvd or Warm Springs Ave, not even to cross. There are/or will be MMP tunnels under Warm Springs Ave to get from one side to the other.
17. You cannot drive on the Turnpike, not even to cross. There are 2 MMP bridges planned to go over the turnpike.

Remember, these are the rules for non-street legal carts. A cart must have a Florida license plate in order to drive on Buena Vista & Morse Blvd, or cross the 3 main east/west roads (466, 466a & 44) at the lights.

That is a very good summary except number 6 is wrong. You can cross 441 across from Spruce Creek. A special ordinance was made primarily for the residents at Spruce Creek and Stonecrest. There is a traffic light at that location thus the 441 traffic should be stopped before anyone crosses. Now if you live in The Villages you would use the golf cart bridge unless you were going to Spruce Creek. Then your advice of don't forget your gate key plays. You need a gate pass to get out of the Historic area and to head over to Wawa, Lowes , Walmart, Sonic, etc.
