I assume this is done in the name of “safety”. Is this what we want in The Villages? Yeah, yeah some will argue that they JUST want the speed strictly enforced at 30 (or 32 or 34 or whatever speed THEY want, since we all know that anyone driving slower than us is an idiot and anyone driving faster is a maniac). But be careful what you wish for—-slippery slope, slippery slope

They have laws against driving too many hours here as well. Enforcement sadly lacking there. How about something that is not a law?—-since there are no vehicle inspections in Florida, someone could drive a dangerous piece of crap , but God forbid anyone goes 31 on Morse. Again, the thread was addressing the difficult crossover at 466. I wonder how many accidents occurred midway between 466 and ElCamino, and how many were caused by “speeders”

Is that it?

So, in a nutshell, is it your opinion that speed limits should or should not be enforced on Morse Blvd, north of 466? And at what speed should tickets be written?
