Potholes, congestion and worn-down pavement may have worn out Ontario drivers, who have just one day left to have their say on the province's worst roads.
Irritated motorists have until the end of Tuesday to vote in the Canadian Automobile Association's "worst roads" survey, which aims to shine a light on deteriorating streets in Ontario.
The month-long survey has seen some 6,000 votes cast against Ontario's crack-riddled thoroughfares and pot-holed parkways. Once voting has closed, CAA will compile a list of the most maligned roads and present it to politicians in a bid to get them fixed.
By CAA's count, 90 per cent of the roads that have been nominated to the annual list have been or are scheduled to be repaired.
Potholes alone can throw a vehicle's alignment off or bend tire rims, amounting to costly repairs. For instance, CAA notes that replacing the shock absorbers on a car could put a driver out up to $285.
Repairing pothole-riddled streets, however, may be a hard sell right now as Ontario's lawmakers prepare to vote on an austere budget which proposes cuts to infrastructure spending.
Participants can head over to www.worstroads.ca to vote for the worst road in their neighbourhood by submitting its name, or clicking on its location via an online map.
