Default Traffic Wednesday 3/7 was outrageous

Yipsters, who opened the gate! Thought we'd get some gas for car, boy, that was a bad idea! Lady with medical emergency stopped between citizens first and Bob evans on 466. Usually love the activity in the villages but ready for LESS, giggle.

After spending so many years in northern Virginia I find the heaviest tragic days in The Villages to be very light.

I was out midday myself, yesterday and had the reaction of "WHERE did ALL these cars come from?" It's been busier here lately BUT yesterday it really was. The cars backed up at Hadley gate were at least 12 deep on Odell. Then to wait at the round-about----they just kept coming up Morse almost without ending. I mentioned later at home----wonder if it's ALL the new folks from Fenney???!!! I think it's just something that's a fact of life for us now and only will get denser with time. Hopefully commerce (yet to be built) to the south will help a tiny bit.

It's spring break season and too cold to use the pools so off to see the sights they go. Be thankful we have turnabouts rather than stop lights to keep things at least somewhat moving during busy times.

Question Villages Touring Bus

Have noticed they have had more passengers and March is usually a busy time. The traffic does seem really heavy.

Same in Illinois and Nashville, TN. There is little traffic here...

There seemed to be plenty of folks in golf-carts too. Maybe it was ALL the Northerners that came down to get out of the blustery snow and cold of the frozen tundra.
