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.

The Village of Country Club Hills has a posted speed limit of 25mph. The rest of the Historic Side has a posted speed limit of 20mph, except for the stretch of road from the Boone Gate to the Wales Gate, which has a posted speed of 15mph.
I have been passed, while in my golf cart, by other golf carts on "my" side of The Villages. We don't have MMPs, these are all public roads.
Also, Morse Blvd from 466 to El Camino Real has a posted speed limit of 30mph, and a golf cart lane on each side of the road. There is ALSO an MMP up closer to the roundabout, but it ends eventually and you still have to drive your cart on Morse, eventually. I have been passed by golf carts, while driving in my golf cart, on Morse Blvd. My cart can go as fast as 21 now, but for quite awhile something was wrong with it and I couldn't even get it past 19.4, and would sometimes not go past 18.6. At an average of 19mph for me, you'd need around a quarter of a mile, going 20mph, to pass me. They were passing me with ease within the span of half a city block. I don't know how fast they were going. I just know they were going well past the 20mph speed limit for golf carts, and they were driving golf carts, not street legal carts.
