CAA Quebec has released its annual list of the worst roads in the province, with a street in Gatineau taking the top spot. The ranking, based on votes from Quebec drivers, highlights the most deteriorated, congested, and unsafe roads across the region.
Gatineau Road Tops the List
According to the survey, the worst road in Quebec is located in Gatineau, though the exact street name was not disclosed in the initial announcement. Voters cited deep potholes, poor signage, and frequent traffic jams as major issues. This marks the first time a Gatineau road has claimed the dubious honor, reflecting growing frustration among local commuters.
Other Notable Roads
The list also includes several roads in Montreal, Quebec City, and other municipalities. Drivers reported similar problems, including crumbling asphalt, inadequate lighting, and dangerous intersections. CAA Quebec uses the annual list to pressure governments into prioritizing road repairs and infrastructure funding.
In response, the Quebec Ministry of Transport stated it is reviewing the list and plans to allocate additional funds for road maintenance in the coming year. However, critics argue that more immediate action is needed to ensure driver safety.
The full list of the top 10 worst roads is available on CAA Quebec's website. The organization encourages drivers to continue reporting problem areas throughout the year.
