How London Fared In CAA’s Worst Road List Released Monday

The Canadian Automobile Association (CAA) put out their annual “worst roads” list on Monday, to “highlight” the top 10 worst roads in Ontario. Drivers could go online to the CAA website and vote for what they consider the worst roads in their region. No roads in London made the province-wide Ontario list, but the city did get a fair amount of attention in the Western Ontario list.

The Western Ontario list included London, Brant, Huron, Middlesex, Norfolk, Oxford, Perth County, the Waterloo Region and others, and three of the top 5 were in London:

1. Ontario 6, Caledonia
2. Plank Road, Hagersville
3. Oxford Street East, London
4. Dundas Street, London
5. Wonderland Road South, London

For the Chatham-Kent, Essex County and Lambton County areas, the top five worst roads were:

1. Highway 401, Chatham-Kent
2. Seminole Street, Windsor
3. Plank Road, Sarnia
4. Huron Church Road, Windsor
5. Tecumseh Road East, Windsor

The top 10 worst roads in Ontario were:

1. Burlington Street East, Hamilton
2. County Road 49, Prince Edward
3. Duckworth Street, Barrie
4. Avondale Road, Belleville
5. Eglinton Avenue West, Toronto
6. Drummond Road, Niagara Falls
7. Dufferin Street, Toronto
8. McLeod Road, Niagara Falls
9. Pelham Road, St. Catharines
10. Lockhart Road, Innisfil

Burlington Street East in Hamilton reaches number one for the second year in a row. County Road 49 in Prince Edward County remains on the Top 10 in second spot, and was the worst road in 2016.
