Teens that hold a driver's permit (age 15+) can drive golf carts alone in Peachtree City, but the police dept. is very serious about following path rules and will stop carts for driving on the roads instead of the paths and issue tickets if necessary. I can't type a website link here; but you can find the path rules at the Peachtree City official website. When you Google search, put a dash between peachtree and city. Then type "path rules" in the search box or you can download the path map.

You can find the paths on Google Maps by clicking the bike at the top and click on "show bike paths" and they will pop up in green. You can also buy a path map at the City Hall for $2.
