Feel like venting after getting your venti splashed all over your clothes and dashboard from driving a rutted, pitted and potholed road?

CAA Manitoba is giving you that chance.

The sixth annual worst roads campaign launches Tuesday, with the public invited to vote on those battered boulevards and atrocious avenues.

The month-long online voting campaign is aimed at drawing attention to the province's most derelict and unsafe roads, with the results later distributed to government leaders for review.

Roads with one or more of the following issues can be voted on:

  • Traffic congestion.
  • Potholes/crumbling pavement.
  • Timing of traffic lights.
  • Pedestrian/cycling safety.
  • Poor road signs or road markings.

Last year, Main Street S. in Carman was ranked the province's worst road. In 2015, a road in Gillam was ranked the worst.

St James Street in Winnipeg was ranked either No. 1 or No. 2 in the first four years of the annual campaign, falling to 10th last year.
