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

I also live in the village for 7 months out of the year. Speeding is wrong. However I do agree that a ridiculous low speed of 10 m per hr for cars is not right Perhaps you should check with the Villages to see what is the speed limit before quoting one. Then for a concerned citizens group to see what can be done. Numbers do speak loudly.

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

Try to get the license plate no or name of company truck. Then make a call to village police or company name. Reporting the violation does help. A bonus if you can catch license plate no.
|
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

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.

Drive through POLO RIDGE. Posted "governmental" signage is 25 MPH
|
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.

We are mostly retired or close to it. Why are we in such a rush that we need to speed and not stop at stop signs, etc? What kind of message are we sending to all of our and other people's grandchildren about obeying the laws. Nana and grandpa are seniors now and can pick and choose which rules they like to follow and which they don't. Slow down and enjoy those retirement years. And, set a good example for our next generation.
