Saskatchewan road users including motorists, cyclists, motorcyclists, pedestrians, runners and transit users have until April 30th to vote for the worst, unsafe roads they have travelled on. Potholes and crumbling pavement remain as the top issues for nominated worst roads that are not only unsafe, but also cost road users money in repairs. The 2022 Top Ten Worst Roads will be revealed on May 2, 2022.

  • Provide your email address and upload a photo when safe to do so
  • Continue to Tell us Why this road is unsafe (select all that apply from the provided menu)

CAA Worst Roads is an online engagement campaign aimed at drawing attention to our province’s worst, unsafe roads. At the end of the campaign, the top ten worst roads list will be distributed to government and business leaders in hopes of sparking conversation and action. Working towards safer roads for all road users is a priority for CAA Saskatchewan.
