If there’s a road that you think is in poor condition, CAA Saskatchewan wants to hear from you.
Once again, CAA Saskatchewan has launched their Worst Roads Campaign.
Over the next four weeks, individuals are encouraged to submit their nomination for the that they feel are a safety concern for motorists.
Between April 8-29, you can nominate and vote for the worst road.
CAA Saskatchewan will announce the 10 worst roads on April 30.
Manager of Communications Angel Blair says the campaign’s goal is to raise awareness about the state of the province’s roads.
“To draw safety concerns, out there, these are often the lifelines in our province. In and out of communities these roads are very valuable and when these roads deteriorate, the road user is usually the person who pays the price.
Potholes, and crumbling pavement has been a common issue that has surfaced in the campaign’s history. Other issues they’ve encountered include cracks, poor signage, general disrepair, and unsafe infrastructure.
Blair noted that while highways are the most common submissions for the campaign, nominations are open for other roads.
“It’s city roads, rural roads, we even had some pasture roads in the past nominated.”
At the conclusion of the campaign, a report on the roads will be submitted to government and business in hopes of sparking some changes.
To submit a nomination and to cast your vote, you can visit CAA Saskatchewan social media channels including Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and LinkedIn.
