Didn’t realize that the “developer’ had law enforcement authority

Maybe not, but isn’t this the developer paying lip service to “enforcement”? Now I’m on the floor laughing! Golf Cart Requirements | The Villages Florida

I hope you're not under the impression that your link is affiliated with the developer.

The rules for golf carts on the road are the same as cars. There is no room for courtesy if it is contrary to the traffic laws. It just causes confusion and confused people on the road cause accidents.

Then I sit corrected. You and others might be right that the developer technically has zero enforcement authority other than advisory, as in the link. Or are you saying the link, which comes from the Villages’ own literature, has nothing to do with the developer? I would think all the official Villages’ website and written literature has to be at least rubber stamped by the developer, no?

In any case, the important take away here for newbies and outsiders and for everyone’s personal and vehicle safety, is that in the Villages, cars yield to golf carts, whether we like it or not, and regardless of whether that tradition is consistent with Florida law.

And it matters not who is failing to enforce the way it’s legally supposed to be.

What I'm saying is that the link you provided is not an official Villages website. It appears that it's from the Villages GPS or maybe even affiliated with TOTV. If it was the Developer's website it would be from thevillages.com.

As someone who drives everyday for over 30 years the vehicle nor the rules matter until something happens. It is of small consequence what the rules were supposed to be if you or someone else gets hurt or worse. Many do not know the rules, some do not care and more do know and don't follow them. It doesn't matter what you are driving always think defense and if you anger someone and you both drive away so be it. Be safe!

Got it. Thanks, Ken. BTW, is that the left coast of Florida or the U.S.?

True, but cars are much bigger than carts. Enjoy the ride!
