There are signs when entering Sumter County from all roads into The Villages that state the speed limit in The Villages is 20MPH, UNLESS POSTED OTHERWISE. On those roads where these signs appear, there are posted speed limits and on that particular section of 466A, the speed limit is 45mph. The 20 mph sign is an advisory sign of what the speed limits are in TV if there are no signs stating speed. Why someone got a ticket if going no more than 45 I don't understand. There is the possibility that the ticketing officer was incorrect and if the ticket lists a speed of 45 or lower, I'd fight the citation in court.
