The Canadian Automobile Association’s (CAA) Saskatchewan division is back with their Worst Roads Campaign.
The contest among travellers is to identify Saskatchewan’s worst highway with the contest deadline being April 29.
Motorists can nominate and vote for the worst road at caask.ca/worstroads.
What exactly is a worst road?
These would be roads (highways) with potholes, cracks, crumbling pavement and one that is in general disrepair with poor signs or road markings and traffic congestion. Motorists will be given the opportunity to specify the section of the road (highway) they wish to nominate and photos will be accepted by CAA, but, they remind drivers to only take the pictures when it is safe to do so.
The top 10, or perhaps it would be better noted as the bottom 10, roads (highways, meaning those with the most votes), will be announced on May 2.
Last year’s campaign attracted 4,556 votes with Saskatchewan’s Highway 354 near Dilke being voted as the worst road in the province.
In 2014, the CAA’s Worst Road Campaign saw 4,651 votes cast and in 2013, the contest attracted 2,800 votes while in 2012, there were 2,900 voters.
The CAA Worst Road Campaign helps spotlight troublesome and even dangerous road conditions within the province and this information may be used as a tool to help address those problems.
