That all was settled nicely and to The Villages benefit. We don't have several thousand golf carts using our paths from outside areas. Do you live outside, sir?
Several Thousand?

We were at that shopping center this morning and we did see a woman in a golf cart waiting to cross 466 from the Target shopping area. I could not believe what I was seeing.

I guess you meant to say "cross 441 from the Target shopping area."

No, she was waiting to cross Rolling Acres from the huge Target shopping parking lot into the shopping mall containing Best Buy. My error, I called Rolling Acres 466 which, of course, it is not. I was still very surprised (make that shocked) to see a golf cart waiting to cross Rolling Acres from one shopping area to another.

Hi. If you have a "street legal" cart you can
Legally cross Rolling Acres from Target to
Five Guys. I go to Starbucks $ Paris Nails
With my Gem Car.��

Folks in their street legals seem to do as well or better with crossing success than the folks who park in one shopping center and then attempt to cross Rolling Acres Rd on foot while NOT at a properly traffic controlled crosswalk!

That is completely illegal besides being extremely dangerous. Actually if it's a street legal cart I guess it's legal but still risky. It;s hard enough to get across there in a car.Those public shopping areas are not part of any golf car community.

Pretty soon, they will want to cross 441 to go to Home Depot & Sam's. (and pick up a front door and a new BBQ) In a cart!!!!!!! :)

We have actually seen golf carts crossing from Lowes to TV! Not often, but definitely seen it done - now that takes some real nerve!:duck:

Living on the historic side as we do, we would see carts on Rolling Acres Rd and Avenida Central crossing 441/27 and were surprised also. Upon close 'inspection' we realized they are street legals. They get across before the pedestians trying to get to the bus stop can.

Here's one that takes some real nerve or real stupidity. Coming back from Walmart a couple of years ago eastbound on CR466 near the schools, directly in front of me was a huge fat man with headphones on riding a mobility scooter right down the middle of the road. For all I know, he probably rode it right out of Walmart. It looked something like this, but with headphones.
