A ticket in this area is $256.00.


Please pass this information along, if you wouldn't mind. Either through word of mouth
or better signage. Thank you for your time and drive carefully!

The 20 mph sign posted here and all over "The Villages" are only for reference of a new law passed in Sumter County in 2012. You will see this sign on almost every street when you enter "The Villages" boundries (and around the area). It just warns what the speed limit IS when it is NOT POSTED.

So if you see no posted speed signs, in "The Villages" within Sumter County, it's 20mph folks.
