Snowbirds and spring breakers are among us in Florida’s Friendliest Hometown and they may not be aware of some of the rules and etiquette of the unique transportation system here in The Villages. It’s time for permanent residents to set a good example.
The Villages has been developed with a variety of roads, multi-modal paths, bridges, golf cart/bike lanes, nature trails and amenities that make it an outstanding environment for residents and their guests to share.
All golf cart drivers, bicyclists and walkers are encouraged to emphasize courtesy and safety while enjoying the roads, trails, pathways and nature in The Villages.
As you travel, please bear in mind:
• Individuals using mobility devices have equal access to all of the beautiful paths and trails.
• Slow down and travel single file when experiencing heavy traffic on a path.
• When passing someone traveling in the same direction, slow down and allow for oncoming traffic to pass before going around that cart, bicycle or pedestrian.
• Always use caution by controlling the speed of your golf car or bicycle so you have time to react to other users who may be stopping or slowing suddenly.
