Tell us what you think.

Last week we asked Reading and North Reading residents which street has the worst speeding problem in town. We want to know what you think.

Here is what some Reading residents said on Facebook:

  • Summer Avenue
  • Salem Street
  • Pearl Street
  • Haverhill Street
  • Willow Street
  • John Street
  • Main Street
  • South Street
  • Intervale Terrace
  • Charles Street
  • Grove Street

Robert J Casaletto said, "Central Street. The hill is posted 30 MPH but people going up and down are doing 40 to 60 MPH. They think they're in Texas. Sooner or later it is going to happen. Big and Bad. The driveways are; more, bigger, and busier."

Mary Rienzo said, "High St! The stop sign at High and Middlesex is the biggest problem. People either speed through and don't stop or floor it off the stop line."

Melissa Bellavance said, "Oh where to start ALL of Haverhill St, Central, North, Marblehead and Park Streets. I know the cops cannot be everywhere all the time but I have lived on this end of Haverhill Street (past the blinking light for the Hood) for over five years and I can count on one hand how many speed traps I have seen in this area. My fear is some child will get hit walking to the Hood or a bus stop."

"Haverhill and North intersection is getting pretty dicey," Ann Marie Wright said.
