Motorists forced

to slow down on Golf View Drive in Peachtree City have taken their frustrations

down on residents of that neighborhood with their horns.

Last weekend,

some local activist upset with the new, longer speed humps and extra stop

signs posted a sign urging other motorists to honk their horns in protest

at each stop sign and each speed hump.

City officials

also lowered the speed limit on Golf View Drive to 20 miles per hour.

"Sound

off to the paranoid old people of Golf View Drive," the sign read.

"... This is what the Golf View residents wanted and got."

Golf View resident

Rod Joyner confiscated the sign Sunday after noticing a lot of honking

near his home and turned it over to the police department. Two women in

particular have been honking their displeasure all week, Joyner said.

"The kids

are not doing this. It's the adults acting like kids," Joyner said.

Woody Joyner,

Rod's father, took offense to being labeled "paranoid" by the

sign poster.

"Please

tell them I'm not paranoid," the elder Joyner said. "I'm old,

but I'm not paranoid."

The City Council

recently approved extending and raising the speed humps on Golf View Drive

and adding more stop signs while slowing the speed limit to 20 mph. The

humps originally spanned one lane at a time, but some motorists would

"weave" around the humps, officials said.
