The article says 20mph on Sumter County roads in TV unless otherwise posted. The new ordinance goes into effect on existing roads on Jan 1, 2012 but is immediate for future designs. Main thoroughfares such as Morse and Buena Vista will not change, so I would say my best guess it that Odell, St, Charles and others that are higher than 20mph most likely would stay at that speed.

Interestingly one of the main reasons for the change is because the roads are golf cart accessible and the max speed for golf carts is 20mph.
