Year after year, Greater Sudbury roads are listed among the worst in the province. In 2007, Vermillion Lake Road was voted the worst road in all of Ontario.

In 2007, Vermillion Lake Road was voted the worst road in all of Ontario.

The annual Worst Roads contest is put on by the Canadian Automobile Association (CAA) and Ontario Road Builders’ Association.

The competition encourages Ontario drivers to vote for the road they would most like to see repaired and highlights the importance of investing in safe roads.

This year, the online poll is not only looking for the worst - they are searching for Ontario’s Best Road as well.

Citizens can vote for the worst road in Ontario by visiting www.caasco.com.

Which Sudbury road would you nominate for Ontario’s Worst Road?

Why doesn't NL also ask what the best road is, as the sponsor of the poll is doing? Would that maybe spoil things by being positive?
