Niagara Falls has four of the Top-5 worst roads in the region, says CAA

The good news is no Niagara Region streets made it Top-10 list of CAA’s worst roads in Ontario.

If you are wondering what the worst road in Ontario it was Barton St. East in Hamilton for the second consecutive year.

That said, CAA did a Top-5 for regions around Ontario. Last year when they reviewed Niagara, seven roads made the Top-5 as three tied for fifth.

This year, it was just five with four of them within Niagara Falls.

Portage Rd. in Niagara Falls, last year’s third worst, jumped to the top of the list this year while Ontario St in St. Catharines dropped to second from first worst last year.

The balance were all in Niagara Falls as Lundy’s Lane (last year’s #2) was third, followed by Willoughby Dr. (last year, tied for fifth) came fourth and Drummond Rd. (last year, also tied for fifth) finished fifth again.

Missing from last year’s list was Garner Rd. in Niagara Falls and Broderick Ave. in Thorold.

“The 2023 CAA Worst Roads campaign provides a valuable snapshot of the roads that the public perceives as pain points,” said Teresa Di Felice, assistant vice president for CAA South Central Ontario.

“For 20 years, this campaign has served as a powerful advocacy tool, initiating dialogues with decision-makers and driving positive change for safer roads across Ontario.”
