That's interesting. This post from about a week ago, was from a user who does not live in The Villages, but says in his post that the cart paths are the only thing he wants out of The Villages, & made his cart street legal to get to them. He must come from a neighboring development on another side from the Lowes, WaWa, etc. entrance you mentioned. I wonder what ever does he want out of the MMPs if they are the ONLY thing he wants? Smells fishy to me.

We are also among the great unwashed who are not IN the bubble, but share a border on two sides of our community. We’re about a quarter mile from accessing a road with a golf cart lane. We used 24Hr. Cart Club to make ours street legal. 352-661-0562, Joey Faulkner. His is a family-owned company and they are fantastic to work with. They handled EVERYTHING for us, including pickup and drop off of the cart.
Yes, you will pay car insurance rates and their fee for doing whatever needs to be done to your cart. (Extra reflectors, wiper, etc). For us it was well worth it as the golf cart paths were the only thing we wanted out of the Villages. We’re not golfers and we don’t give a fig about “3000 clubs”. We figure that what we pay in insurance is worth NOT having to pay an inflated price for the house, a bond, CDD, etc.
With a street legal LSV, you are able to travel on any road with a speed limit of 35mph or less, and you can cross “the sixes” as long as you are at a light.
