Ontario's worst road: Have you been on it?

 

If you have, the Canadian Automobile Association (CAA) wants to hear from you as it holds voting for the annual (dis)honor given for potholes, bad signs, crumbling pavement or limited pedestrian/cyclist access.

The selected road, after all ballots are in from the public, will be publicized, and the list will go to authorities who, you'd think, would be glad to get to work and fix things up. But the list below, sadly, shows a pattern of streets and highways that 'win' over and over again. Three-peat winner Dufferin St. is above.

But all is not lost: survey participants are entered in a raffle. Even if the road isn't fixed, the raffle winner gets a year's worth of free gas.

Here are the last 15 years worth of top nominees:

  • Burlington Street East, Hamilton (2017)
  • County Road 49, Prince Edward County (2016)
  • Algonquin Blvd West, Timmins (2015)
  • Dufferin Street, Toronto (2014)
  • Dufferin Street, Toronto (2013)
  • Dufferin Street, Toronto (2012)
  • Pelican Road, Municipality of Sioux Lookout (2010)
  • Steeles Ave West, Toronto (2009)
  • Steeles Ave West, Toronto (2008)
  • Vermillion Lake Road, City of Greater Sudbury (2007)
  • Cardwell Road, Township of Assiginack (2006)
  • Steeles Ave West, Toronto (2005)
  • Albert Street, Township of Norwich, Oxford County (2004)
  • Steeles Ave West, Toronto (2003)

The best part of every trip is realizing that it has upset your expectations
