For street-legal carts, the speed limit is 25mph, regardless of the posted speed limit for all other vehicular traffic.

Come on!
Yes, of course exceeding the posted limit in a cart will warrant a ticket. BUT, since carts are limited to 20mph and most roads in the Villages have limits higher than that, it is not possible to exceed the posted speed limit.
Yes, the speed limit in many villas is 10mph but since those are private roads it is unlikely that the sheriff will be giving tickets there.
Obviously, some cart-like vehicles are capable of traveling faster than 20mph. These also can be cited but that citation will be for an unregistered vehicle, not for exceeding 20mph on a road with a limit of 30mph.
