Note: On some interstates, there is a minimum legal speed limit of 45 mph. Most other roads only have a maximum speed limit, but no minimum.
In the boundaries of The Villages, only maximum speed limits are posted. Cars/carts can legally and safely travel at speeds below the posted maximum limit.

Neither cars nor carts are intended to be driven " pedal to the metal ". To do so causes excess wear and tear and wastes fuel.
