Well said!

Pinellas Place has so many golf carts doing 30+ that
it is now more the norm.

I drive along there all the time and there are a lot of carts doing 20-25. 30+ the norm? No.

The last quarter of 2017, over 1,100 speeding violations were issued in The Villages.

Agree.

20-25 common. 30+ not at all. In fact, from my experience 30+ is rare.

We purchased our first home in Village of Charlotte in 2012. There were 20MPH speed signs on every street. Still people speeded on golf carts and in cars. Contractor trucks pulling trailers were the worst. We moved to La Belle North almost two years ago. There are NO speed limit signs on our neighborhood streets. There are signs on Moyer Loop. I called Sumter County several months ago and they said that a survey was done and TV did not feel 20 MPH speed limit signs were necessary since they had one at each entrance. We have golf carts and cars and contractor trucks going up to 35 MPH on the neighborhood streets. If people speed when there are posted speed limit signs then what do we think they will do with no speed limit signs? I would say there are very few new residents in any of the new villages that know the max speed on streets with homes is 20MPH!

BREAKING NEWS: People in The Villages break traffic laws. As do millions of people on every county, state, and federal road in the United States millions of times per day.

Max speed on Villa streets is 10mph. Never see a car go that slow

In Fl you can only get a speeding ticket for car/truck when you exceed the speed limit by more than 5 mph--a golf car going more than 20 mph, the ticket is not for speeding--its for having an unregistered vehicle+ a bunch of other items

I thought the max speeds in our 'faux gated' neighborhoods...was 25 mph.

Pretty much says it all.

I always drive the speed limit...inside the gates of any village.

Albeit...usually in the left lane.

I'd rather see tickets given out to drivers who disregard the rules in roundabouts. I'd be willing to bet there are more accidents and near misses due to people cutting in front of others illegally from the wrong lane, than from people going 5 or 10 mph over the speed limit. I was going straight the other day and someone did a right turn from the left lane, in front of me, and I barely slammed my brakes on in time. What is the matter with people? Are they that stupid they don't know the rules, or are they just inconsiderate or in la la land?

See, you were right, most don’t know.
