Default Illiterates in The Villages

Someone obviously can’t read a highlighted sign right in front of their face. Not sure what part of this they don’t understand.

What did you expect? That sign has like 2 dozen words on it and some with more than one syllable. There are big red octagonal signs that simply say STOP all over and yet the overwhelming majority of cyclists can’t understand what that means

Not to mention that people driving golf carts don’t understand either!

LOL, maybe they should hang a roll of painters tape on the sign? Easy on and easy off.

They can read just fine. But the rules don't apply to them. They're mommy's special bois and girls.
