Got a need for speed? Well, you might want to consider easing off the gas when cruising through Alpharetta these days.

The City Council recently approved a speed zone ordinance that added to the list of streets on which police are authorized to use radar to catch speeders. State law says police can use radar only on declared streets.

Alpharetta police have an expanded list of streets on which to use radar. Most of the streets are in 25 mph and 35 mph speed zones.


The list includes new streets such as part of Cogburn Road, Westside Parkway and streets in newly annexed areas.

The city is in the process of installing the new speeed limit signs. Police will issue warnings in the new zones for about a month. After that, it'll cost you.
