The powers that be are working out the details . . probably something like, you must have lights, you must have a valid drivers lic, maybe other conditions (I'm speculating). .....BUT....It's gonna happin'. (i figure u must be crazy to cross 441).

Now, if you have recently driven south on CR 468 south of 466a through Fruitland Park, there ARE 'golf cart crossing' signs on that county road. Must be somthing local.

Anyway, just sayin'

From The Villages Voice - Sept. 2012....The Villages Buzz :

"Crossing State Highways in Golf Carts

Florida State Department of Transportation has made a change to DOT rules regarding golf carts crossing state highways commencing in January 2013. There still remains some debate over what golf carts, which drivers and whose additional authorization may be required. For example, the Florida statue change was at least intended to permit utility-type golf carts driven by public service maintenance personnel to cross state highways in the process of performing their job related duties. By extension, will that include recreational use golf carts (and Villagers) also? Watch for updates here, in the Daily Sun and the districtgov.org website for updates soon."
