With the popular

Wings Over Dixie Air Show at Falcon Field Saturday and Sunday, local residents

can expect heavy traffic in the area.

Those going

to the show and wishing to avoid traffic are encouraged to use the shuttle

buses available at the Starr's Mill High School campus.

From 9 a.m.

to 7 p.m. both days, traffic on Dividend Drive will be restricted to southbound

traffic only from TDK Boulevard to Ga. Highway 74 , according to Capt.

Stan Pye of the Peachtree City Police Department. Exceptions will be made

for golf carts and motorcycles, which will be allowed to proceed north,

he added.

During that

time frame, the road will be cordoned into three lanes the right lane

for buses, the center lane for golf carts and motorcycles and the left

lane for southbound vehicle traffic.

Officers will

be stationed at Hwy. 74 and Crosstown Road to assist golf carts with crossing

onto the path system, Pye said. That way, the carts don't have to drive

all the way up to Kelly Drive to access the path system, he said.

No parking

will be allowed on Hwy. 74. Most parking available on-site at the airport

will be at the south end of the runway, Pye added.

During the

air show, access to the main terminal will be restricted and holes five

and six on the Planterra Ridge golf course will be closed since they are

in the flight line path of the aircraft.

Also, the first

aid tent at the show will be located adjacent to the main hangar building,

Pye said.
