Saskatchewan motorists, cyclists, motorcyclists and pedestrians have until April 27 to nominate and vote for the worst roads they have travelled on.
CAA will name the country鈥檚 worst roads based on those votes on April 28.
CAA defines worst roads as those with potholes, crumbling and fractured pavement, lack of infrastructure for safe use by all road users, and poor or no signage. In addition to personal safety concerns, according to Saskatchewan drivers can expect an annual cost of around $97 for increased vehicle repairs due to the poor quality of roads.
There are four steps to nominate and vote for a worst road:
鈥� Click聽;
鈥� Select a road 鈥� municipal or provincial 鈥� and a specific segment or section;
鈥� Identify what type of road user you are 鈥� motorist, cyclist, motorcyclist or pedestrian 鈥� and select the 鈥減roblem鈥� from the provided drop-down menu;
鈥� Vote 鈥� one vote per road per email every 24 hours.
A new feature to this year鈥檚 worst roads campaign is a Google Map locater that visualizes vote distribution across the province. It pinpoints the current locations of the nominated roads that are receiving votes. The Top Ten Worst Roads will be revealed on April 28.
According to the organization, the aim of CAA鈥檚 Worst Roads campaign is to help highlight problems and dangerous road conditions in the province and to encourage decision makers to address the roads in most need of improvements.
