Pat yourself on the back, Sudbury, you have the worst roads in the North

As they do every year, the CAA held its Worst Roads campaign again this year and the results are finally out.

Greater Sudbury, congratulations. You topped the list in Northern Ontario. Not only did you top it, you dominated the top five. Way to go. 

The list is compiled based on public voting. 

So the worst road in Northern Ontario is ... drum roll, please ... Regent Street. Lorne Street came in second, with Bay Street in Sault Ste. Marie taking third. Rounding out the top five was Frood Road in Sudbury and the Kingsway in fifth place.

Eglinton Avenue East in Toronto was voted the worst road in Ontario.

CAA says the 16-year-old campaign has helped improve Ontario's worst roads by drawing attention to the bumpiest rides, encouraging municipalities to pay attention to those roads people vote for.

In 2007, Vermilion Lake Road in Sudbury was voted the worst. Let us know if you think it's any better today that it was 12 years ago.
