Driving your golf cart there would be risky.
Just take your car.

LSV's can cross a road with a speed limit of 45 MPH as long as there is a traffic light.

I have done that. Park at The Villages medical building (I have Village Health) and walk across pedestrian crosswalk to Culvers. Not a problem, just a long light.

It is a shame Wildwood and T V can't work out access from the area of TV behind the vacant lot behind Trailwinds Publix Plaza.

Anyone heard any word on the Target plans for that area next to Lowes?

Reminds me of the Video game Frogger! Good luck.

Beaumont residents have golf carts, so I guess they, too, can cross Penrose/Pinellas Pl at that light to access Winn Dixie and The Villages beyond.

I will double check this, as I usually park the golf cart in the Pinellas Plaza and walk to desired points on the Trailwinds side.

But I wonder how many actually do have a golf cart. After all, it is pretty useless to anyone living there to spend 14K+ for one, UNLESS they plan to ILLEGALLY use the Villages amenities. Which is why we should vigorously crack down on checking IDs. That would leave them with a large, expensive lawn ornament (unless they also have deed restrictions)

Terrible idea. There are already reports of teens climbing the fence there and using the pools of Tamarind Grove and adjacent areas. The Villages was going to develop that area, but Wildwood turned them down for political reasons (A City Council of one persuasion afraid that bringing in 4000+ voting Villagers of a different persuasion would leave them on the unemployment line). Hence Trailwinds, a commercial area and unrestricted residential section COMPETING with our developer. I don't think you will ever see access granted.

I was just reading the rules the other day. No golf car/cart may enter a road with a speed limit of 35 and above. No golf car/cart may enter a round about.

I see golf cars/Carts cutting across 466A at the stop lights by Walmart. Perfectly legal UNLESS you get caught.

If, they are truly allowed to cross by Lowes, I would have to see it in writing from the Wildwood Police department and the Sumter Co. Sheriff's department. Until then, I'll error on the side of caution.

It IS illegal and an expensive ticket if caught. Go to the golf cart safety clinic to find out the rules of the road. Oct 18 at 9AM at Colony Cottage Rec center...it';s FREE

Not sure, but I have seen golf carts crossing US 441 at 176th St. These daring old men in their golfing machines are from the Dell Webb communities. I’ve been told it is legal to cross the 45 MPH street, at the traffic light, though not to drive on that highway. Might be in the right, but watch out it’s not dead right.
