Now we know - and we have The Villages VPS - but many visitors around here do NOT and need that extra information. As an example, leaving Sumter Landing toward Morse Blvd: The words say Morse Blvd pointing in both directions - with no further information. It should show whether you are proceeding in a northerly or southerly direction for each turn.
I'll have to look for that particular sign the next time I am up there. Every other sign I can remember, on both Morse and Buena Vista, indicates which direction is North and South.

(Perhaps the thought was that North/South wasn't necessary on that particular sign since you could see the bridge over Lake Sumter and the direction would be obvious?)
