I saw a lady do this very thing on Rolling Acres crossing from East side to West side. Time 5:15 pm. I was in turn lane heading North.

I recently saw a line of 3 carts (not street legal) driving on the shoulder of 441 heading towards Lowe's. Welp, I thought to myself, since they're evidently a group of friends, at least they'll all die together.

There is no way in which my wife shops and the number of stores she visits that we could go by golf cart in or out of The Villages be it grocery shopping or clothes/appliance etc shopping.

Our cart gets used for golf and golf only unless we walk the courses which is often....saves on batteries. so golf access advertising isn't the draw for us even at restaurants

The cross roads of 441 and Rolling Acres is always very busy all year every day
causing drivers to be inpatient and taking more risks.

Perhaps they'll all get incarcerated together before that happens!

s.
It's also not the simplest intersection to navigate, either, since there are actually two intersections--the one at 441 and the one half a block down to enter either strip mall.

We have always thought that one of these days, when the stars are in alignment, someone hyped up on something is going to blow through one of these intersections and then (maybe) the police will be more interested in old people in golf carts.

Which is fine, but they should be using them where they are legal to use and not trying to get just about anywhere they want to go in a golf cart.

There are many places here to take the golf cart, but not every store & restaurant in the entire surrounding area.

I find the OP question to be quite legitimate. Not everyone has been in the business world and understands what makes the world go around (profit). (Just a quick thought).

Everyone knows the real gripe about Rolling Acres Road access is the Trailer Park/Campground on the corner of 466 and Rolling Acres. Well they are there folks and they come into your paradise everyday, all day long. They zip out the side of the trailer park go into the Lady Lake town park and have unlimited golf cart access. Maybe they can wall off Rolling Acres Road.

Is it just me, but what does have to do with this thread? Please explain.... Is this poster a Village resident?

the trailer park never bothered me, I guess you have a self-image issue tied to the trailer park, for my part people are people unless they do you harm. if they want to creep thru parks to get here I feel sorry that they chose the wrong place to live.
