From what I can see (on Google Maps), that is not accessible from TV, since it's in Spruce Creek South...

Default Golf card crossing

Seeing that cart surrounded by all those cars -- that is a busy intersection -- gave me the creeps.

People living in Spruce Creek South are allowed to cross 441 by the traffic light that is by their community using their golf carts. That will allow them access to Walmart and Aldi, Lowes, etc. They can also access the shopping center by Spruce Creek, they have a golf cart gate inside the community. To the best of my knowledge you cannot access the shopping center without going through Spruce Creek South community. Do not confuse Spruce Creek, which is further north, with Spruce Creek South that is accross the street from Walmart.

Everybody is entitled to their opinion regarding golf carts. My opinion is be careful what you wish for. You know.. sort of like “let a sleeping dog lie”.

In the last 2 days I have seen what I believe to be golf carts BUT THEY COULD BE those weird cars that can be used as golf carts, traveling on Buena Vista and crossing 466a and 466. 1 had a license plate the other did not, neither have the “street legal” plate. To my knowledge, in TV you can’t drive a cart on any road over 30 mph and you certainly aren’t supposed to cross either of the major east/west roads.

But how do you get into Spruce Creek South from inside TV?

Go through the Paradise gate, past Lowes, past Aldis, past Walmart, past Sonic to 176th Pl, cross 441 into Spruce Creek.

Wouldn't you already have to be on the N side of 441 to do that?

Kinda' defeats the purpose of the discussion on how to cross to N of 441...

441 runs N>S
You would be crossing E to W

NW to SE... You would be crossing NE to SW...

Isn't that why it's called "Spruce Creek SOUTH"?

I see this all the time @ Bella Cruz and 441 and wondered the same thing. They do need more ways to cross over 441.

Nothing to do with the direction of the street.
It's called "Spruce Creek South" because the same developer built "Spruce Creek North" in Ocala on rt 200 in the late 80s.
Not to be confused with Spruce Creek Country Club (Del Web) further north on 441.
