You are correct that anyone can drive throughout the Villages roads in a car and can walk on the paths. Driving on the MMP’s is a different story. The developer has gone through great efforts to prevent non Villagers and their guests from having golf cart access to the MMP’s. The infamous gate going to Lowels, Walmart, WaWa, etc…. from the historic section is a good example. And the MMP’s are not public ways, they are paid for by Villager’s amenity fees and when costs are involved (signage, painting lines, speed bumps, etc…) it involves the Project Wide Advisory Committee and/or the Amenity Authority Committee depending on the location.
