The aforementioned signs on BV and Rio Grande that say "Speed limit 20mph unless otherwise posted" were posted right where you enter Sumter County from Marion and Lake County respectively. The new "universal" speed limits are only in effect for Sumter County, hence the need to post these signs as you cross the county line.

I would bet there is or will soon be a sign after the "20mph unless..." on Rio Grande that shows the limit for THAT road back to 25 or 30 or whatever it currently is, just as BV will remain 35.

Remember, these 20mph limits are primarily targeted at residential neighborhoods ... main thoroughfares like BV and Morse and Belvedere and Canal and O'Dell and Bailey Trail, etc will remain at the 25/30/35 that they currently are.

Please don't confuse the issue any further.... you won't be driving 20mph on Morse or Canal.
