Does The Villages prohibit biking on the sidewalk? I wouldn't bike on the sidewalk in the squares. It's way too busy.
This is all I could find about biking on the sidewalk. The 2014 Florida Statutes (9) A person propelling a vehicle by human power upon and along a sidewalk, or across a roadway upon and along a crosswalk, has all the rights and duties applicable to a pedestrian under the same circumstances. (10) A person propelling a bicycle upon and along a sidewalk, or across a roadway upon and along a crosswalk, shall yield the right-of-way to any pedestrian and shall give an audible signal before overtaking and passing such pedestrian. |

I agree with you that care is needed, but there are several such roads (Del Mar for example) where the end of the multi-modal lane has a sign "Ped Lane Ends", the implication being that pedestrians have a right to be in that lane.

Stand corrected--although I"m not certain that law is the same in every state. I know I've heard about warnings being issued here about carts on sidewalks.

3) I have seen golf-carts traveling south stop at the Rio Grande traffic lights, then proceed as if they were going "right on red". This is no more dangerous than a true "right on red" but is it legal? "Should probably merge into traffic if making a turn here but certainly with a lot of caution. Bottom line BE CAREFUL and BE SAFE." Why would you merge into traffic if you are going south??
