Let me remind you that the roads are public throughout the hallowed ground of The Villages, so it's perfectly legal for any golf carts, whether owned by the sacred Villagers, or those you deem as outsiders.

What do poor walkers, or bicyclists from "across the tracks" face in backlash if found not to belong?

Thank you for a hostile reply. But I still doubt there is a high percentage of Beaumont residents that own a golf cart. As far as the ones that do go, IF it is legal to cross 466A, they are more than welcome to use our PUBLIC roads. They can drive around to their heart's content as long as the driver is over 14 and they obey the traffic regulations. HOWEVER, the MMPs are privately owned and paid for by Villages residents as are all the amenities. So, if they are caught trespassing on our amenities in their "less fancy" carts on our "hallowed" grounds by "sacred" Villagers they should be prosecuted to the full extent of the law.

Spruce Creek you can cross at. Further north than Stonecrest. Signage at intersection identifies carts can cross.

Just a friendly reminder that none of the squares and Sawgrass are accessible by golf carts without using the private MMP's.

So who is enforcing "non-Villagers" using the MMP's?

- It would be very useful to find the Sumter County list of roads that golf carts are allowed to cross. I have been unsuccessful so far so my choice will be to avoid crossing 466A

The sign was still there as of 1 today.

They can always install a key card only gate like the Paradise gate

At every entrance to a MMP from every public road????? Imagine the backup of both carts and cars.

"They" are going to install a key card gate at every MMP? You're not serious. And what about walkers, cyclists, etc?

One just walks or rides a bike through when a car or cart opens the gate

Thank you, I enjoyed that one.

It will probably stay there...................I think it's best to discourage the crossing.

Just turn up your cart to go faster and make up for the delay.

Correct me if I'm wrong (it's happened before) but my understanding was that each CDD owns the MMPs in their district. To me this would mean that being a resident of TV would not be a requirement to use the MMPs. Same as how the townies are free to visit the squares and use the parking facilities surrounding them.

I can't imagine some non-Villager, would get slapped with a trespassing charge for riding their bicycle on a MMP on the way to Brownwood for example.

Considering posting such a document could lead to legal issues if it was fake, I think most reasonable people would assume it to be real.
