As I was sitting here reading the post on the speed limit in the Villages I looked out my den window and saw my neighbor's mother, who is in her 90's walking on the street with her walker. Tell me, do you really think it's safe to come down my street doing 25 miles an hour when the speed limit is 15 and this lady happens to be walking more in the middle of the street because there is a truck parked in her way. How would you feel if you hit her as she does not have the ability or agility to get out of your way. The original poster should feel very lucky to not have gotten a ticket. If I was that officer, I wouldn't have been so nice.
I wonder why everyone is in such a hurry. I think 15 miles an hour speed limit is very appropriate for a place that has people anywhere from 50 years old and up walking on streets without sidewalks.

Macgolfnut was doing approx. 66% over the speed limit. If he was just going 5 miles more an hour putting it at 30, it would be the same as on rt.75 where the speed limit is 70, he would have been doing 140 miles an hour. He was almost doubling the speed limit on a side street in Hadley..
