Speed trap at Chula vista
 

3rd ticket inside 10 minutes

I don't think I would go back for the second but I sure wouldn't go back for a third :D

This is what a bunch of clowns were clamoring for, I hope they’re happy (and the first three cited)

Chula Vista or De La Vista?

Go speed limit or less and it won't matter.

Slow learner? 🤭☺️

Here?

Everywhere!
Relax. Enjoy the ride.

Popular road to avoid Rolling Acres or Morse. I can’t blame residents living on that road for wanting speed enforcement, their residential neighborhood has become an automobile cut through.

I wouldn't consider Morse Blvd. to be a "residential road".

Talking about Chula Vista, which is a residential road people take to avoid Morse or Rolling Acres. Morse is definitely not a residential road.

Where would you be coming from / going to that Chula Vista would be a reasonable alternate for either Morse or Rolling Acres?

It's not. Someone is directionally challenged. And nobody in their right mind would think that going down Chula is quicker than going down 466. Unless you get behind all these geezers who aren't capable of driving the speed limit, which happens on both streets.

The speed limit is the MAXIMUM you should be going, under ideal conditions

If someone chooses to drive slower than that, then that is their decision, not yours

Likewise, if someone chooses to break the speed limit and gets caught and fined then they have no right to complain - of course they think they are superb drivers and the law doesn't apply to them, but that's not the way it works, and we should all be grateful for that

Florida law allows police to ticket drivers who impede traffic by driving too slowly, especially in the left lane when others are trying to pass. This is considered a moving violation, and can result in fines and points on your license

And if you are only capable of driving a car 20 mph in a 45 mph zone, you need to turn in your drivers license. I'm pretty sure I was behind you today/

In the villages believe that 5 miles over speed limit is very typical and safe as long as people do not tailgate.

Thankful for lady lake police, drivers coming around the corners like they are at Indy, hopefully little Villagers on walkers won’t be a statistic, slowdown and enjoy the ride please!

🤣🤣🤣

Wish there was an officer on every street, but criminals never like the police.

So, people were speeding and got a ticket? Thought so. Don’t break the law and you won’t get a ticket…..

Yes! Thank you.
Sincerely, Bozo 🤡

Those "geezers" are capable, but they observe the speed limits.

I am!

Paragraph 1. We all know this. Thankfully, the cops make the call, not impatient, frustrated, self indugent drivers that think rules shouldn't apply to them.

Paragraph 2. Making judgments about other drivers with out knowing all the facts is just plain foolish and can lead to making dangerous decisions. Like tailgating, dangerous passing, etc.

Chula Vista avenue has always been cut off from 466 and to 466. Even before all the expanded development. LEO occasional monitors. Most of use been here while know not to speed when cutting through. Same with Rio grande ave, use to be self proclaimed resident LEO monitor with radar gun harassing speeders on Rio Grande few years ago. Haven’t heard or seen him in while, but I don’t travel over there much anymore.

Anywhere in the greater Spanish Springs/Rio Grand area. I take that road often when going to get fresh seafood at the Lighthouse Seafood store on the westbound side of 466. It’s a direct cut through between Rio Grand and 466 westbound. Going back home I go up Morse so I don’t have to do a U turn on 466 where it is a divided road. It’s been well documented that people living around that area are not happy with the road becoming an alternate rout to avoid Rolling Acres, and to a lesser extent Morse. I guess you have to live in that area to appreciate the dilemma. It doesn’t affect us where we live, but I can easily understand the problem.

Never buy a house on any short cut, or through route, for cars or carts.

Please enforce traffic laws--We are getting too much enforcement
 

People either request enforcement or don't want it. You can't have it both ways. The adage don't commit a traffic infraction no ticket, makes sense.

More than 15 years between the 6’s police presence was few and far between. Living off a busy road we might see a SC sheriff every 10 days.

South of 44 not only do you frequently see a patrol car, they actually write tickets. This morning’s 4-5am outing was no different than any other, passing 3 patrol car.
Today I will see 1-2 cars pass through our village, sometimes stopping and chatting, or a wave.

For us It was one of the determining factors of moving south.

I hope these were 3 different drivers

Good to hear.. We need for enforcement in The Villages

I disagree. 5 miles over the speed limit on a highway is completely different from 5 miles over the limit at lower speeds on shared roads. Pedestrians, cyclists, and golf cart drivers can attest to the difference.

1.Lady Lake had announced along with othet counties that there would be a Speeding Crack down.
2. The Villages is not exempt from following laws ( even if you think you are).
3.The population is increasing
Traffic increasing. Accidents happening more and more.
Thank-you sheriff's for doing your job.

Well, the people complained and now they have to deal with the ramifications.

Personally, I favor speed enforcement. Autos and golf carts mixed on streets…speed limits should be the maximum, not the minimum. Slower autos equals safer golf carts. (Same goes for golf carts too)

I think this the street. Unless you live in that area, most people would never use it.
I would think that 99% of the people going north or south from Spanish Springs use Morse.

That's awesome! About time LEO does something about the morons who think they don't need to heed the speed limits. Morse and Buena Vista are turning into speedways. Putting a full time cop out there would address the problem, stop more drunks and drug users and pay for itself with the revenue it would generate. Also, way too many idiots driving souped up golf carts that are not made to go over 20MPH. Leave earlier, slow down and try to enjoy life.

So you saw three getting ticket or you got three
Because you getting three is impossible, one stop takes more then 10 minutes
Not sure what you are stating here

I was going 25 on Rio Grande one afternoon and an impatient sole decided to pass me. Of course it only took 30 seconds or so for me to pull up behind him because he was waiting for the light at Morse Boulevard to change. In the grand scheme of things even going 5 mph faster on the turnpike doesn’t get you there that much faster but the slight advantage of going 5 mph faster on Rio Grande is even less.

I’m one of those clowns that requested increase enforcement. Been actually passed by one vehicle that speed was in excess of 50 MPH. Too many drivers from the 466 apartments using Chula Vista as a cut thru. Increased in the last three years.
