I've seen cars driving on the multi modal trail, so nothing surprises me anymore.

Have seen cars do this more than once

These round-abouts are dangerous and I’m surprised there aren’t more accidents. There are some people driving around who just aren’t familiar with them or how to navigate them. And btw, for the so-called off season that we’re now in, The Villages seems quite crowded.

I might suggest speed bumps at the entrance to force those aggressive jerks to slow down instead of speeding up to see if they can intimidate the drivers coming around.
Another would be to put speed cameras that issue tickets to vehicles exceeding the suggested 20 mph.
What would you suggest?

NEITHER

Speed bumps would effectively change the yield sign to a stop sign and totally disrupt traffic flow at every roundabout. Bad idea.

Speed cameras in an RB? Very low yield. Ever try to take an RB at over 20 in an SUV? Good luck. Maybe you'd catch a few cowboys in a high performance sports car, but that's it. Better off monitoring the straightaways for those going 55+ on BV and Morse. Of course, the 35 speed limit on those roads is ridiculous in the first place---traffic is slowed down by all the RBs anyway. I suspect the only reason for setting it at 35 was to allow idiots in their idiotic "street legal" golf carts on the road to play Russian Roulette.

That you move elsewhere.

Latest idiot driving move in The Villages…. Driving east on SR 44 then turning right (south) onto Meggison…. Then STOPPING IN THE MERGE LANE!!!

Let me ask you geniuses who do this a question…. Do you also stop in the middle of the merge lane when entering the turnpike? Sheesh.

I’d bet the ranch that the next person to do that wouldn’t be the FIRST. 👍🏻

There is a merge lane on Meggison?

My experience with other drivers in TV is that many are kind and considerate. However, there are many who drive recklessly over the speed limit often times playing with their phones. We can use available technology to rein in bad drivers and hit them financially enough to hurt. Food for thought.

Sad, but I've seen that as well.

Make it mandatory that everyone take a class on how to drive.
2nd, a camera for going over the “suggested” 20mph? WHAT? You can take these roundabouts faster up to the speed limit. How about fining people that stop at each roundabout when no cars are coming? There is no stop sign at the roundabout. 99% of the roundabouts you can see if anybody is in the roundabout way before you get to it, so if nobody is coming, keep driving.
3rd, fining people that go 5mph thru the roundabout instead of the 20mph “suggested” limit?

The moral of this story -- Alway drive defensively as you never know what you will encounter

Yup, another useless post. And I can’t get this time back.

Where is there a merge lane at Meggison?

You reckon Saudis are bad in cars, you should hear the language when they are on their camels!
