A traffic control device in this instance would be the light at the intersection.
Florida statute 316.212 2(a):

(2) A golf cart may be operated on a part of the State Highway System only under the following conditions:
(a) To cross a portion of the State Highway System which intersects a county road or municipal street that has been designated for use by golf carts if the Department of Transportation has reviewed and approved the location and design of the crossing and any traffic control devices needed for safety purposes.

So, despite the deputy, unless the Florida DOT has reviewed and approved golf cart crossings at that point, well.......

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?
Green Bay Packer fans can go anywhere......It's the Law of the Universe!!:spoken:

Jus so you know...............Officer Layne is an officer, not a deputy.

Also, Officer Layne created the Traffic Enforcement Unit for the Wildwood PD.
If Officer Layne says, good-to-go...........I'm not asking him if he got approval.
:ho:


I lean towards Officer Layne statements and away from Villager Google searches.

No, hence the word "unless"

I understand and generally agree, but that is the exact statute copied and pasted from the State of Florida statutes, so I wouldn't put it in the category of the typical "Villager google search"

Got it....you have no proof this isn't the case but said it anyway and are arguing with everyone who is offering something of substance (conversations with multiple law enforcement officials from different agencies
Let me guess...There's no such thing as Bigfoot… UNLESS Bigfoot does exist....and was the shooter on the grassy knoll:shrug::undecided::ohdear::1rotfl:

One bit of proof would be the signage that reads “No Carts Beyond This Point.” Like a speed limit sign or a stop sign, that’s all the proof I personally need.

“I read on ToTV that the officer and the deputy told someone it was okay” seems unlikely to trump the posted signage.

Now. of the Wildwood PD and Sumter Sheriff have made a decision not to ticket golf carts crossing there then okay. I won’t be rolling the dice on that.

But you’re getting off topic which has to do with golf carts from non-villagers possibly sneaking in to use our amenities
Why would a non-villager driving a golf cart be more likely to use our amenities than a non-villager driving a car?

Because they would be more likely to use a MMP with their golf cart. Is the MMP an amenity ? I would say yes due to residents paying to maintain them.

Yes, that does not surprise me.

I thought (at first) he/she was talking about the country club on 44......not the trailer court.

:)

It's all the same, I thought. Is it the Continental Country Club Trailer Park ?
