Unfortunately, Acworth is likely to experience even more car accidents than it has in the past.

In fact, from 1994 through 2004, the city averaged 2 to 4 times as many single-family home construction permits as the average Georgia city. As it grows, more and more people will be out on the Acworth roads. Unfortunately, as more people travel along the roads in an area, the number of car and truck accidents and the number of injuries from car and truck accidents tends to increase. Second, many residents have a fairly lengthy commute time. The median commute time in Acworth is 30-35 minutes. As commutes lengthen, and people spend more time on a city’s roads, the number of auto wrecks tends to increase.
