Strange Villages Street
 
Does anyone know of a street in the Villages that eventually crosses thru itself ???
Answer: Near the Hacienda Golf Course ( Palms 9) there is a street that the engineers designed to purposedly confuse drivers. Augustine Dr. journeys in a large loop and crosses thru itself for a short distance. I wonder why the engineers designed sugh a thing when it would have been so easy to add a different street name for that portion that crossed thru Augustine Dr..

Trust me. Augustine Dr. is a street where one can easily become lost.

In Fernandina Unit 205 there's a corner which is called the corner of Allaire Loop and Allaire Loop.

Wow, that is an interesting street.....and I imagine it can be quite confusing, but if you start at the beginning, you have a nice long walk, a LONG walk...:D

There's a street in St. James that crosses itself. Yankee Clipper, I believe.

Villages seems to like to have streets cross over themselves -- seems like there's one about every third village. And then there's the street name change for no fathomable reason (think O'Dell, Bailey). Someone seemed to have a lot of fun designing the streets and their names (like Bassinger and Baldwin intersection).

I get so confused on the Loops and Circles! the first time I discovered one I was on a golf cart and sat at the loop's intersection with itself scratching my head...

There is also a house on the corner of Dipper Loop and Dipper Loop. But isn't that the definition of a loop?

There are a bunch of streets like that. Pennecamp Dr. comes to mind - it loops around at its northern end.

Bill :)
