This isn't a "retirement" community. It's a 55+ community. In addition, Morse is a public road, there are thousands of people who work in the area and use that road, who don't live in the Villages. But they serve Villagers as waiters, fire fighters, police officers, insurance agents, lawyers, doctors, sales clerks, etc. etc. You not being in a rush doesn't entitle you to decide whether or not everyone else should be in a rush.

Some people need to get home and take care of their children. They may not be speeding or running red lights, but they're also wanting to get home. And you going slow as molasses and saying "what's the rush, you're retired!" only points out your false sense of entitlement and myopic view of your surroundings.
