First thing - when I was head of a HOA over on Florida's east coast someone wanted our speed limit dropped from 25 to 20, county told us that was illegal and that 25 was the minimum we could post (and we were private and gated)
However there is this from Florida State -
Standard Florida speed limit laws:
20 mph: school zones
30 mph: urban district or street
55 mph: all roads and highways unless otherwise posted
60 mph: two-lane sections of highways and freeways
70 mph: freeways, interstate highways, and other roads if posted
Keeping in mind T.V. is not a gated community, it's a community with gates (due to gold carts)
