In fact, I rarely ever have anybody riding my butt when I'm doing 10 miles under the speed limit, so a lot of people must feel the same way.

I am OK with the speed limits in the villages. I've been here 2 1/2 years and I am beginning to instinctively know that it takes longer to go somewhere because of the speed limits.

Buena Vista could probably easily handle 45 miles an hour since there's no golf carts allowed, same with El Camino Real, but then everybody would be driving 60 miles an hour.
Unfortunately, "street legal" golf carts ARE allowed, which is why I believe the speed limit was purposely set low at 35 on those roads.
