Looks like golfing eagles and dewilson are quoting two different parts of the Florida General Statutes.

Dewilson is quoting something that doesn't apply to Villagers at all. It is exclusively for municipal and state employees using golf carts and utility vehicles as part of their job.

Golfing eagles is quoting the part that does apply to Villagers - we cannot cross roads that have a speed limit of 45 or more, unless an exception has been made in a specific location. There would need to be a discussion - paperwork, forms, officials making official decisions to make those exceptions. It's not just a "hey Officer Jimbob, is it okay if this neighborhood crosses the road here?" "Sure Gary and Jennifer, you're good to go."

I'd love to see the official ruling on the location in question. Not something that an individual police officer said. But something in writing. So far I'm not seeing it in the General Statutes of the state.
