PEACHTREE CITY - Peachtree City south of Atlanta is known for its miles of golf cart paths. <br> <br> The City Council&#39;s recent decision to lower the driving age from 16 to 15 is creating a minor traffic jam when McIntosh High School lets out for the day. <br> <br> Principal Greg Stillions says it&#39;s unsafe to put cars and golf carts in close proximity. He doesn&#39;t allow the golf carts to park on the McIntosh campus. <br> <br> But cars and carts mix five days a week on a short city street behind the school&#39;s football stadium. The spot behind the school is where students have parked the carts for years. <br> <br> About 130 carts were parked on the street Monday. <br> <br> The parking problem may get worse. The school board is expanding McIntosh to accommodate 1,800 students -- up from its current 1,500. <br> <br> School officials have considered building a parking lot for golf carts. But Stillions says that&#39;s unlikely since McIntosh has little available land.
