If you go west towards Fruitland Park I can see your point that traffic may not have increased.
I drive that route almost every day (Tamarind Grove Run to St. Charles to Buena Vista to 466A to left on Powell to Huey and the Wildwood dog park). We've lived here since 2012. I see some uptake in the traffic in that area in the last few years. If there's more traffic on 466A between Buena Vista and Powell, though, I would attribute most of it to the new shopping center at Trailwinds. That used to be a cattle field.
The traffic in The Villages is nothing compared to the places we have lived before. I guess it's a matter of perspective.
