Hey there, time traveller!

CAA Manitoba is rebooting its Worst Roads campaign in after a one-year pandemic hiatus, hoping to draw municipal and provincial attention to the province’s worst-kept roadways by giving road users a chance to highlight problem areas.
“Nobody enjoys a bumpy commute or getting stuck in traffic. Whether you are a driver, a cyclist or a pedestrian — these road conditions affect everyone,” said Heather Mack, government and community relations manager for CAA Manitoba in a release.
“As people are encouraged to stay home and telework during the pandemic, we should take advantage of lighter traffic patterns as an opportunity for road repair.”
The CAA said crumbling pavement, potholes and traffic congestion continue to be the most common areas of concern for motorists, along with poor signage and little infrastructure for walking or cycling.
The membership-based organization is advocating for dedicated ongoing infrastructure funding to help address repair backlogs and capital projects.
Nominations for Manitoba’s Worst Roads open today, and can be voted on at caaworstroads.com until April 18. The top 10 worst roads will be presented to municipal and provincial officials to encourage funding and planning decisions.
Participants who vote will be entered for a chance to win the campaign’s grand prize draw.
