CAA's popular Worst Roads campaign, which started on April 8, 2025, is now into its second week.

Saskatchewan road users including motorists, pedestrians, cyclists, and passengers continue to nominate and vote for roads they say are unsafe "WORST" roads. In fact, we are learning that Saskatchewan residents have a lot to say when it comes to the roads they travel on and the shape they are in.

Year after year potholes and crumbling pavement remain as the top issues in our campaign. Several factors can cause deterioration of our roads - everything from weather conditions, age of roads, heavy traffic, and lack of maintenance. In cold climates like Saskatchewan, the freeze-thaw cycle plays a significant role in creating potholes – a problem that occurs when temperatures regularly go above and below the freezing point. When rain or snow seeps through cracks and openings in the pavement, it freezes and expands, causing the pavement to heave upward. Then as temperatures rise, the ground underneath the pavement returns to its normal level, leaving a cavity or hole which breaks apart with continued use of vehicles driving over the fractured pavement.
