Default Worst road in the GTA

On the news today. My vote for the worst is Belfield between # 27 and Martingrove. There are two spur rail crossings that are vicious. Fortunately a truck in front of me slowed to walking speed otherwise I'm sure I would have bent my rims. It's like hitting a 15 cm block wall.

I used to live near there and Belfield was on my daily commute. I drove it often in my Volvo and remember it was pretty bad. I have never driven it in a Porsche though. Yeah, the rail at-grade crossing is pretty bad.

Dufferin St., between Dundas and Queen;

excellent street for a 4X4 commercial.

My vote is Finch Ave between Weston Rd and Millvan. With the exception of IED's - the road is a double for route one out of Kandahar...




Ummm, ok...maybe I'm wrong, we're worse then Kandahar. No IED's though. Well, never mind about the odd bakery bombing in Woodbridge.

Aah stop your whining. Try driving in Hamilton. You'll stop at Toronto City Hall and kiss the mayor every day after a day here.

Go Ticats Go. Uh, I take that back. They might be indeed going thanks to our stupid local politicians.

Ever drove the "singing" part of the 401 between Cambridge and Guelph Line Rd? It's smooth but freaks the $hitout of anyone that is not used to it.

worst road is ontario? In Hamilton, BURLINGTON St, eastbound between Gage Ave and Ottawa St. 4 lanes wide and not 5 feet of road without 'shake-rattle-and-roll' . Barton st is not so bad now, they have redone most of it. Burlington St. makes Barton(even at its worst) ride like a dream.

just drive it, then again DON'T............
