At first the stop sign created

a new noise. It was the deceleration and then the acceleration of the

vehicles. All of this even disturbed our dog. She barked at every car

that stopped at the stop sign. She thought they were stopping to visit

us.

Everyone that knows where we

live have asked how do we like the stop sign in our yard? At first I replied,

I'm not sure yet. Now it has been a couple of weeks and I don't notice

the deceleration and acceleration noise and our dog no longer barks at

the cars that stop.

One of my coworkers drives

down Golfview to get to Ga. Highway 54 to go to work. I can tell you she

is not happy with the stops signs and speed bumps. We car pooled one day

to work and had a discussion about the speed bumps and stop signs. We

finally agreed to disagree.

I have noticed a significant

decrease in the amount of traffic on Golfview. I am thankful and happy

that the traffic has slowed down. I feel better letting my kids play in

the front yard now.

One of our neighbors asked

me to sign a petition to have the stop signs and speed bumps removed.

I declined to sign and feel the stop signs and speed bumps have proven

their effectiveness and should stay. As a concerned parent and a resident

of Peachtree City, I hope the traffic calming program is implemented in

any other neighborhood that has chronic speeding traffic that is hazardous

to the neighborhood and its residents.
