I saw, for the first time, a new sign "Speed Limit In The Villages 20 MPH Unless Otherwise Posted" sign.
I don't know too many places that don't have a posted speed limit, even inside our villa community we have speed limit signs. I really don't see much usage of this new law.

Here's something I haven't seen before and yesterday I saw it twice in five minutes. I pulled up on Southern Star Way in my car and while waiting to turn right onto St. Charles a cart comes up to the right of me in the cart lane. Instead of getting behind me, he turns across the front of my car to make his left turn southbound.

After I turned onto St. Charles northbound a cart in the cart lane also northbound about 50 feet ahead of me made a left turn onto Pennecamp without signaling and without moving left into the lane in front of me. I was going to blow my horn but as he made his turn he looked left in my direction rather than looking ahead at the traffic in the opposite lane. I think by the look on his face he knew he messed up.
