I am shocked & surprised at this WPD statement.
The sign ("no golf carts beyond this point.") was erected by The Villages......a private entity.
Private signs do not determine law.............they are opinions/suggestions.

What gives you that idea? Is there some small print on the sign that I've missed? It would be good to know who planted the speed limit signs so I could possibly ignore them as well.
I suspect it does matter who is wearing the gloves that plants the signs or who is signing the paycheck for that individual. If the law does not allow crossing 466A and there is a legal sign stating such then the argument that "I heard on the internet that it was ok" isn't going to carry much weight.
FWIW: I heard a Sumter County Sheriff deputy (not sure what rank), state unequivocally that crossing 466A at Trailwinds was NOT legal. (of course, he also would have said that traveling down Morse at a speed greater than 35mph is not legal and we know how many obey that)
