Greater Sudbury had three of the five worst roads in Northern Ontario on last year's list

Although Greater Sudbury didn’t crack the top 10 worst roads in Ontario in 2023, it did manage three of five worst roads in Northern Ontario.CAA’s Worst Roads campaign has measured public sentiment on the state of highways and non-highways since 2003. In Ontario, the campaign allows consumers to vote daily at caaworstroads.com. Voters also have the option to upload photos and explain why the road doesn't meet their standards.

"This is causing a variety of concerning driving behaviours, including swerving to avoid potholes, slowing down for bad spots, and some even changing their route altogether to avoid a bad road. We encourage all Ontarians to vote for their Worst Roads and join the community of drivers, cyclists, transit riders and pedestrians committed to improving and actively working to help make our roads safer for all.

Once voting is closed, CAA uses the data to compile a list of the Top 10 Worst Roads in Ontario, and the worst roads in regions across the province. CAA says its research shows that over 84 per cent of members are worried about the state of the roads and 42 per cent have had a vehicle damaged due to road conditions.

A pothole can cause $500 to over $2,000 in damage to a vehicle, with the average repair of people surveyed being $852, according to the new release.
