Isn't it the era of "personal choice"?

No speed limits are observed in this place. Everyone is in a hurry to get someplace. Slow down. You won’t believe how bad an accident looks in a golf cart.

Help
Are there this many people in the Village's that are reasoning and understanding challenged. There may 4 or 5 respondents who understood the question while the others could not gather up enough reasoning powers to be able to understand it and answer the very basics of the question? The simple question is "do unrealistic laws cause a general disrespect for the law which results in more violations"? Come on now, there is no harm in saying I don't understand the question and going to a more simple one and working on it.

Half the reason there is so little respect for the law in general in 2021 is because we had an absurd 55mph national speed limit that nobody obeyed for the last quarter of the 20th century. We literally trained the population to ignore the law unless a cop was watching.
That 5 mph limit in a residential area is no more absurd than the 35 mph limit we have on four-lane divided parkways with limited access and no golf carts, like Morse, Bueno Vista, and El Camino, or the 45mph limit on long stretches of 466 and 466a. The most dangerous people on those roads are the ones who obstruct traffic by following the absurd speed limit. My 30 mile Houston commute was less hectic than getting from Mulberry to Everglades! It would be nice if we didn't make it so difficult to enjoy ALL of the amenities we pay for, instead of just the ones we can reach by golf cart. |

Don't Understand
I don't understand the statement that said we only have 54 houses and two streets and a circle and 4 houses on each street and yes the sign is at the gate. How does that relate to what the speed is in the specific village? As I read the statement it has no relevant data regarding the speed limits on these streets? The layout of that specific village is interesting but the response is an example of understanding and staying on the subject.

Villagers are free and sovereign citizens. Observing speed limits or stop signs impinges on their constitutional rights. Law don't work around here (sorry, I am watching Tombstone). |

Speeding ticket on a golf cart. Imagine a court hearing. Your honor I found the golf cart was traveling at an illegal 21 mph. The golf cart owner. I have an engineers drawing and a wind speed chart for the time of the ticket. My cart is properly set to do the LEGAL 20 mph due to the wind and a 1% grade in the road, my cart possibly hit the 21 mph even though it is set to do 20. |

I find it amusing. Sort of third grade logic. They caught me, they don't catch everyone so I do not owe the penalty.

We do have folks who come in to look around and see what kind of place this is where the buffalo used to roam. They don't usually go fast either. We call them "Looky-Loo's".
