It's very evident that the traffic rules of The Villages are different than outside the bubble. No one really understands who has the right of way at a four way stop. And weather it's a golf cart or a car turning left of center if it is a cart from a cart lane or a car you don't have the right of way. Either that or all the traffic rules that are taught are wrong. And why do you need to pass another cart on the cart lane especially when you are next to the street unless of course your cart is street legal. OK I feel better.

There's traffic rules in TV? Cudda fooled me.

You have a point there Redwitch that explains every thing

Rules of the road are the same as outside the bubble. They just seem to be ignored.

I have found the rules are quite different. I am surprised that in Florida the right lane is the passing lane.

The left lane is the passing lane in Florida.

I have noticed that most vehicles don't have blinker lights in the round-a-bouts when they are exiting and you are yeilding to enter? Another thing I have noticed 25 mph speed limit really means 35, and 35 mph speed limit really means 45 except on north Buena Vista blvd where the sheriff posse was with radar guns couple weeks ago. Luckily I'm still newbie here and still obey the speed limit signs

I can explain this because I read this forum. Last week there was a long thread on the differences of being older. Kinda old, old, older, real old and wrinklie smart.

It said in that thread that the EARLY boomers like ignoring rules. Not the Late Boomers. Or was it the other way 'round?

there is no difference in the rulles....but TV does have more....way more than it's share of folks who either don't follow the rules....don't know there are rulles....could care less about the rules....and the most dangerous of all the ones who THINK they are following the rules....BUT ARE NOT (oblivious to anybody else on the road.....very similare to the don't care crowd).

Of course there's some bad driving goes on in TV. And the roundabouts add a bit of confusion for some. But I swear it doesn't seem any different here than anyplace else I've lived or visited. Good drivers/bad drivers...you gotta watch out for them all, no matter where you are.

I agree....that pretty much sums it up.

I don't think folks understood what I was really trying to say. Because people make up their own traffic rules causes some confusion where if everyone would drive according to how the laws were written traffic would flow a bit better. Even the police I have noticed don't make the turns onto a four lane road properly.
