Bad Roads

The good folks at CAA have come out with a list of the worst roads in Ontario. Here are the top 10:

  1. Dufferin Street (Toronto)
  2. Bunting Road (St. Catharines)
  3. Burlington Street East (Hamilton)
  4. Stanley Avenue (Niagara Falls)
  5. Kraft Creek Road (Timmins)
  6. Lawrence Avenue East (Toronto)
  7. Carling Avenue (Ottawa)
  8. Finch Avenue West (Toronto)
  9. Kingston Road (Toronto)
  10. Bayview Avenue (Toronto)

I think the idea is to highlight the really bad ones in an effort to get them fixed up. I don’t do a lot of driving on Dufferin St. but I thought it was improved with the extension opened up, eliminating the weird zig-zag drivers had to take for years to get from Dundas to Queen.

So did they get it right? Are there worse roads out there?

    These guys clearly didnt visit Barrie as part of their survey. My opinion is that mile for mile Barrie traditionally has the worst roads on the planet.

    How do they define bad roads? I used to live of Leslie St. where cars zipped up and down at 80-90km an hour despite their being three schools along there. And if the Parkway was closed; it became a horrible bumper to bumper mess. Oh and the Leslie bus; every 40 min, no service after 10 or at all on Sundays! I never found Dufferin St a big deal at all compared to that.

Have your say...
