Everything You Need to Know About CAA’s Worst Roads

When CAA launched its Worst Roads campaign in 2003, the goal was simple: call attention to Ontario’s most neglected streets and, hopefully, spur officials to fix them. Well, the plan is definitely working. Over the past 15 years, governments have overhauled several roads that have made our annual list, filling potholes, improving signage and easing congestion.

From Toronto to Ottawa, streets are getting a makeover

Making progress

The 2017 campaign found there was still work to be done across the province.

• Over 3,000 roads in Ontario were nominated as a worst road.
• 87% of people surveyed said road conditions were either worse or the same as in 2016.
• 85% of people said potholes and crumbling pavement were the reason they nominated a road as Ontario’s worst.
• Burlington St. East in Hamilton has made the cut nine times.
