golf cart speed limit
 

the golf carts are required to have governors limiting them to 20mph +/- 10%

See pages 14-17.

I did not realize there were so many ways to say 20mph. :shocked:

There are some posted speed limit signs peppered throughout the Villages. On the Morse bridge that leads from the north of Lake Sumter into Sumter Landing Town Square, the signs say the speed limit for the bridge is 10mph.

Between the Wales gate and the Boone gate on the "Historic" side, the speed limit is 15MPH. That's a public road though, not a golf cart path. And no one pays attention to that speed limit anyway (I try but I won't lie, I usually go faster).

Generally though, the unposted speed limit would be 20MPH, because legally, your golf cart isn't allowed to be capable of exceeding 20mph anyway.

There is no "speed limit" on the MMP's because there is no agency that can assign one. The speed limits (maximum capable speed) are on the vehicles themselves which are covered by state law. Of course 90% of them don't have those limitations because the dealers or consumers override it "just by a few mph" which is still illegal for a golf cart. And yes, STREET LEGAL golf carts (ALA LSV's) CAN drive on the MMP's specifically and are permitted by The Villages.

Yes, they can and they do for sure on the streets (diamond lanes &local road) not sure on the MMPs. Big bucks fines and probably vehicle confiscation.
