Niagara's Worst Roads
Voting in CAA’s annual Worst Roads campaign offers a unique opportunity for us to collectively identify the challenges we face on our roads. Your input helps us advocate for the changes and improvements that matter most to our community. Thank you to all who voted in this year’s campaign.
Help Pave the Way to Safer Roads
Make your voice heard!
Each spring, CAA hosts the Worst Roads campaign, which helps to identify the roads in our communities that are in most need of improvement. At the end of each campaign, road reports are distributed to government leaders to inspire conversation and action.
Worst Roads isn't just about potholes. It's about all the things that make roads unsafe or annoying. Bad traffic lights, scary intersections, or places with no bike lanes or sidewalks where lots of people walk or bike – these are all reasons to vote for a worst road.
We encourage drivers, cyclists, transit riders, pedestrians – really any road user – to make their voice heard by voting. Your experiences matter, regardless of how you navigate the roads.
