This is all quite insane and it will be a County revenue enhancer - for sure. We all know the difficulty of driving a modern vehicle at 20 MPH with the five or six speed automatic transmission that is in these cars . By the time they automatically shift - you are exceeding this speed limit of 20 MPH (braking for school zones as we typically have to to control the speed) and further proof is on our residential side streets where 15 MPH is impossible to hold by most cars.
Who are these county commissioners who are granted this arbitrary authority for inane decisions. Street legal carts will be more vulnerable to incidents as they mingle with cars going the same speed -- where prior they stayed off some of these roads due to the higher speed limit afforded cars.
This will prove to be a bad decision by the county and more importantly affect life style here in The Villages relative to our transportation needs and mobility.
