The British Columbia Automobile Association wants to hear from you if there's a road on your commute that turns your knuckles white, or a bike lane that has you praising the cycling gods every time you make it through unscathed.
For the next month, motorists can nominate and vote for roads in the association's annual Worst Roads survey.
Once the final results are verified, BCAA will publish the Top 10 Worst Roads and share complete survey results with municipalities, the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure and other road authorities to encourage improvements.
Roads that receive 10 or more votes will be highlighted in the Worst Roads report to the government.
"Roads that are jammed with traffic, full of damaging potholes or so deteriorated that you can barely see the road markings can be scary for anyone to use," stated BCAA associate vicepresident of Road Assist Ken Cousin in a press release.
"By voting, you can draw some attention to those unsafe or inefficient roads that frustrate you the most."
Westside Road of Okanagan Lake, the two-time defending Worst Road champion, has recently seen a $6.5-million investment for improvements.
North Van's Indian River Drive ranked seventh on the 2013 list, with potholes and crumbling pavement as the main problem cited by voters.
The survey defines a potential Worst Road as any piece of paved infrastructure -including a bridge or tunnel - that is meant for public use and exhibits any of the following characteristics: damaging potholes, crumbling pavement that needs resurfacing, frequent heavy congestion, inadequate road markings or signs, or a poor design for motorists, pedestrians and cyclists to share safely.
