====Golf carts====
[[File:City Hall Dogwoods and Golf Cart.jpg|thumb|250x250px|A golf cart in Peachtree City]]
Peachtree City has a system of [[golf cart]] paths which spider across the town and provide a secondary means of access to almost any destination within city limits. These multi-use paths stretch for more than {{convert|90|mi}} throughout the city. Many places of business have specially designated golf cart parking spaces. The Peachtree City Police Department has several golf carts used to patrol along these paths.<ref>"Peachtree City, GA – Official Website – Paths & Golf Carts." Peachtree City, GA – Official Website. Web. 23 Aug. 2010. <http://www.peachtree-city.org/index.aspx?nid=216>.</ref>

Over 10,000 households own a golf cart, and use them as an extra vehicle for local transportation.<ref>{{cite news |title=Electric Cars Rule Ga. Town |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C1XPWVL-nZ8 | archive-url=https://ghostarchive.org/varchive/youtube/20211211/C1XPWVL-nZ8| archive-date=2021-12-11 | url-status=live|access-date=25 March 2020 |agency=[[Associated Press]] |date=25 July 2011 |format=News video |via=[[YouTube]]}}{{cbignore}}</ref> Children aged twelve to fifteen may operate a cart on Peachtree City cart paths with a parent, grandparent or other guardian in the front seat. Those who are fifteen or older, with either a valid Georgia learner's permit or a full driver's license, are allowed to operate golf carts alone. Students at [[McIntosh High School]] are encouraged to drive family golf carts to school because of limited car parking. In 2015, [[Starr's Mill High School]] opened a golf-cart specific lot. The golf cart paths are also used by cyclists, joggers, and pedestrians as a safer alternative to the side of the road. In February 2003, ''[[Golf Digest]]'' magazine discussed the traffic congestion caused by the use of golf carts in the city.<ref>Kapriske, Ron. "Golf Cart Gridlock".
