From potholes to congestion to poor road signs, which of Manitoba’s roads are causing drivers the biggest headaches?
The 14th annual CAA Worst Roads Campaign is determined to find out.
Manitobans are urged to nominate the province’s worst roads – and thus the ones they want to see fixed.
Last year, 18th Street in Brandon “triumphed” as the province’s worst. Second was Leila Avenue in Winnipeg – a repeat offender on the list after coming in seventh in 2022 and fifth in 2023.
CAA Manitoba claims a recent survey shows 96 per cent of Manitobans are concerned about the state of the province’s roads.
“The CAA Worst Roads campaign gives Manitobans a voice in highlighting the roads they believe are in need of repair, which provides a valuable snapshot to decision-makers,” said Ewald Friesen, the manager of government relations at CAA Manitoba, in a news release.

The survey also found more than half of respondents have experienced vehicle damage because of poor roads.
CAA Manitoba says the damage caused to a vehicle by hitting a pothole can cost anywhere from $300 to $6,000 – with an average cost of $882.
Nominations can be submitted online until April 11.
