What are the worst roads in the province? Have your say .

Matthew Robinson, Vancouver SunMay 6, 2011
 If you think the crumbling, pothole-ridden mess of a road that runs through your neighbourhood is the worst stretch of pavement in B.C., you now have a chance to do something about it. The B.C. Automobile Association is asking drivers, cyclists and walkers to identify the province’s worst road. The web poll ends May 24, and BCAA will present the results to policy movers and shakers in a bid to force some much needed repairs on our most ramshackle roadways. (more)

 What is a 'worst road'?

  • have damaging pot holes
  • need resurfacing
  • are unsafe and contribute to frequent accidents
  • are often heavily congested
