What Street in Lexington has the Biggest Speeding Problem?

There are a lot of people who have trouble obeying the speed limit, but which street in Lexington do you think has the biggest problem with speeding?

Where Do Drivers Speed in Lexington?

Let's see if there's a consensus.

  We all know there are spots where people tend to speed in Lexington. Tell us in the comments section which are the most dangerous and might need a raised section, another stop sign, more crosswalks or another measure to slow down traffic. Next week, we'll run a poll based on the top few answers we received in the callout.

Hancock Streeet There are 2 really dangerous intersections on Hancock Street: 1. Bike Path - the bikers have a stop sign, cars do not.
