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.
The MMPs are paid for by Villagers, they are NOT public

So if someone parks at Pinellas Plaza (which is public property) and walks down an MMP, they’re trespassing? You’re kidding, right?

LSVs can cross 466 and 466A, but can't drive on them otherwise.

I'm a little confused about that statement. I bought my house and have a bond just as anyone else that bought new. My understanding is the bond is paying for the capital costs of the infrastructure including roads and MMPs.

I find it hard to believe that the roads are public but the paths are not. I've read nothing in my bond information stating that it grants me private access to the MMPs, or any wording to that extent.

“ Golf carts may only operate on streets with posted speed limits of 30 MPH and under. Golf carts may, however, cross streets with posted speed limits of 45 MPH and under just not drive them.”

Don’t know if that is true, but they might be. But you’re getting off topic which has to do with golf carts from non-villagers possibly sneaking in to use our amenities

So…. Does this mean that a regular golf cart can pass by the Neighborhood Walmart to the traffic light at 466a, then cross to go into Colony Plaza????

If anyone here says Yes I will print this out and show to the police if stopped.,.

If you believe what's on the internet. Since a tunnel is provided at Colony I would use that since there is a MMP to Hearld Way.

I'm surprised. The Developer has been very diligent about eliminating opportunities for non-Villages with golf carts to get into The Villages. There are a lot of non-Villages renters and home owners in Trailwinds.

This is new information to me that might allow golf carts to cross state roads under certain situations such as 466A

one of several links from a previous post

Sorry that it's hard for you to believe

* I’m not off topic at all. You claim the MMP’s are private, not public. If that’s the case, anyone entering/using them by any means of conveyance is trespassing. This is completely different than accessing or using a rec center, pool, etc. The bottom line is the MMP’s are fair game, as there will be no enforcement taken on people using them.

The only crime that will be enforced less than doing 23 MPH on the MMP

Will be a ticket for a non villager using the MMP

What’s your probable cause to stop the non villager? Will Wildwood PD stalk the crossing at 466A, and radio ahead that the yellow Yamaha with the Green Bay Packer’s front license plate is not a Villager?

45 mph T-Bone = Death.

As opposed to 35 MPH and not dead? 35 Mph usually equals 40 to 50 MPH.
