“Poor road conditions affect us all through increased vehicle repair costs, insurance claims, work compensation, healthcare costs and precious time and energy wasted in traffic congestion,” said its statement issued along with the worst roads results.
“The Worst Roads campaign allows the public to identify the roads in their area that are in particularly rough shape or present dangerous driving conditions,” says Gary Howard, vice-president of communications at CAA Atlantic.
“Ongoing road maintenance is essential to ensure that we can all enjoy safe, economical, environmentally responsible and pleasant driving conditions.
“We have notified government officials for each of the top ten roads, and always welcome the opportunity to share information on planned repairs or upgrades”
The organization says it maintains and updates its Worst Roads website year-round.
