The Worst Roads in 2019: The Results

In La Belle Province, half of the top 10 is made up of repeat offenders where cracks and potholes continue to pose a major problem for drivers, year after year. And for the second time in a row, Boulevard Gouin Est in Montreal earns the dubious distinction of being the worst road in Quebec.
