TL:DR

CAA just dropped the tea on Ontario's most clapped roads for '25. Hamilton's Aberdeen Ave is the main offender for the second year running. Potholes and general L maintenance are the biggest ick. But the real Q is, will they ever fix these roads for real, or are we stuck with this forever?

The Deets

Okay, so listen up, fam. The CAA just dropped their annual list of the worst roads in Ontario, and it's not lookin' good for some cities. For the second year in a row, Aberdeen Avenue in Hamilton is taking home the L as the most cooked road in the province. Apparently, it's got more potholes than your average skater park and the maintenance is straight-up lacking.

But wait, there's more! The whole top 10 list is a mess, featuring roads from all over Ontario, including:

  • Hamilton
  • Prince Edward County
  • Toronto (Gardiner Expressway and Eglinton Avenue West and Sheppard Avenue West)
  • Mississauga
  • South Frontenac
  • Caledon
  • Fort Erie

The CAA survey had over 2,400 nominations from 208 municipalities, so clearly, y'all are feeling some type of way about these roads.

Why are these roads so cooked, you ask? Well, according to the survey:

  • 84% of y'all are pressed about the potholes
  • 77% think the road maintenance is an L
  • And 15% are just fed up with the traffic

CAA is out here suggesting some fire solutions like quick fixes, pothole funds, and even using recycled materials to fix these roads. They're also saying the government needs to step up and prioritize road safety, which is honestly the bare minimum. They say people are lowkey willing to put up with the construction for better roads long term. Let's hope the city picks up these tips quick!
