The 2025 CAA Worst Roads Campaign has revealed Ontario's worst roads, with Banwell Road in Windsor taking the top spot in the southwest region.
The Residential and Civil Construction Alliance of Ontario (RCCAO) supported the Canadian Automobile Association (CAA) as a technical partner for the campaign.
South West: Top 5
Includes Windsor, Chatham-Kent Municipality, Essex County and Lambton County.
Banwell Road, Windsor Blackwell Sideroad, Sarnia Michigan Avenue, Sarnia Riverside Drive, Windsor Vidal Street South, Sarnia
None of the region's roads made the Top 10 list in the province.
Top 10 List Ontario
Aberdeen Avenue, Hamilton Barton Street East, Hamilton County Road 49, Prince Edward County Eglinton Avenue West, Toronto Hurontario Street, Mississauga Leveque Road, South Frontenac Highway 50, Caledon (Bolton) Sider Road, Fort Erie Frederick G. Gardiner Expressway, Toronto Sheppard Avenue West, Toronto
'Drivers across Ontario are all too aware of poor road upkeep and the negative impact it has on everyone's ability to get around their community,' said Nadia Todorova, executive director of RCCAO.
In addition to raising awareness of roads most needing maintenance work, CAA public opinion research conducted online in January 2025, also revealed that 85 per cent of Ontarians agreed that short-term inconvenience due to road maintenance work is worth it to realize the long-term improvements needed.

New-look Montreal bus stop signs being unveiled
The newly designed bus stop signs are coming to a neighbourhood near you in Montreal. (STM) Look up at a bus stop in Montreal and things may have changed. For the first time since the early '90s, the Montreal transit authority (Société de transport de Montréal - STM) is swapping out its bus stop signs at the around 9,000 stops in the Montreal area. Signs will be gradually replaced over the next few years. The update is meant to coincide with the arrival of the REM light-rail line, which required a new logo. The new designs are meant to make it easier for riders to read the information. What's new? Bus line number is 17 per cent more visible. Type of service 148 per cent more visible. Connections to other modes of transport are 35 per cent more visible. The STM says that around 30 signs are changed every week due to them being broken, the information changing or because of vandalism.
