I live on the corner of Pinellas Place & Fenwick Loop. There used to be a speed limit sign of 15 mph on the corner. Someone removed it months ago. When you turn onto Fenwick Loop you can speed around the complete loop without stopping until you reach the other side of Fenwick Loop & Fenwick Loop. Hope I am making sense. Yes people speed when they turn onto Fenwick Loop. My dog was almost hit because of someone speeding while turning into Lindsey Villas. Please people slow down and live. Janet

We back up to Odell circle. Some Lawn companies fly by, like no limit on speed

I haven't experienced much speeding and I do obey the speed limit. My problem is the neighborhood walkers who walk across the whole street and do not move for the cars. At that point I an going about 5 mph. This can go on for a whole block. Share the road walkers!

In Florida if you're doing less than 10 mph in the left lane on an interstate you can get a ticket. In the Villages I set my distrionic a @ 5mph over the speed limit--this way I can go everywhere without ever hitting the gas or brakes --the distrionic is my autopilot--my wife's new car has 360 degree eyes--great

How about checking your facts? If not posted it is 20 MPH and in most villages it is posted at 25 MPH. I don't know where you got 15 MPH

It's an unenforced law. Most LEOs recognize the loss of momentum on a bicycle interferes with a good ride, so they let it go. Similar to the rolling stops frequently done by motorcyclists. It's just common sense nullifying stupid laws. We don't need stop signs. Yield signs would suffice in 99% of situations.

Most major streets ( Morse, Buena Vista, Odel ) have a speed limit of 30 or 35 mph. Streets off of these usually have a speed limit sign that is posted at 15 -20 mph. If you see no speed limit sign on any street it is considered 20 mph. When you enter a Villa such as Allandale Villas the sign posted is 10 mph. I have checked most villas and I have seen the same speed of 10 mph posted at all.

Default 15 MPH but no FROGS!

The POSTED speed limit in Tamarind Grove is 15 MPH. If you would like it, I'll step outside and take a picture for you.

However, speeding in The Villages doesn't matter just as long as you don't have an 8 inch statue of a frog in your front garden. That warrants a visit from the VCDD Gestapo.

Bikes and golf carts ride with car traffic and abbey all traffic rules. Walkers and runners SHOULD run/walk facing traffic.

Do runners have to abide by the speed limits?
