CAA Quebec Names Gatineau Road Worst in Province

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.
