I’ve seen a patrol car on the grass on 466A between Morse and Buena Vista 4 times in the past 2 weeks. Three of the times were after dark.

Default Automobile Speed Limit

Did experiment yesterday at 4PM. Drove from Villages hospital to the Savannah Center on ElCamino. Set speed control at 35 (speed limit). Passed no cars but 15 passed me, most doing 40-45 (estimate) with a couple well over 50 (estimate). One of the cars was even a Sumter County sheriff. Appears powers to be do not want Villages to be known as a speed trap.

Can't help but wonder how you'd know that...especially the part about "some other secluded area".
