Here are the streets you've listed as some of the worst for speeding in Roswell and what the Roswell Police Department has to say about it.
When we asked you about the most problematic areas for speedy drivers in Roswell last week, Riverside Road, Crossville Road and Houze Road all landed among the worst. Via comments on the site and the Roswell Patch Facebook page, readers shared their thoughts on the subject. Of Riverside Road, Scott Long wrote on Roswell Patch: "A very long run with no traffic calming for nearly two miles straight equals danger (and a few single-vehicle very-high-speed fatalities in recent years).
