Speeding Still a Systemic Problem in Rehoboth

Drivers exceeding the speed limits on Rehoboth roads is still a “systemic” problem, according to Selectman Lenny Mills.

“It’s not site specific or street area, north or south or Route 44, it’s a real challenge for us,” Mills said Monday.

Mills encouraged residents to reach out to the Rehoboth Police Department with their concerns.

According to statistics provided by the Police Department, the roads with the most reported number of car crashes from September 16, 2023 through September 16, 2024 were Winthrop Street with 80, Tremont Street with 24, Anawan Street with 22, Fall River Avenue with 15, and Moulton Street with 15.

The Police are monitoring various areas in town to catch speeders.

“Please try to slow down,” Mills said, noting a new state law requires motorists to stay at least four feet away from bicyclists, horses, or pedestrians in the road.
