Burlington Street in Hamilton named second worst road in Ontario

According to the Canadian Automobile Association there's only one road in the province worse than Hamilton's Burlington Street.

Tuesday morning CAA released its annual list of the Top 10 Worst Roads in the province. Only Dufferin Street in Toronto was decided to be a more difficult drive than Burlington Street, whichplaced third in last year's worst roads list from CAA.

Half the roads on this year's list are from the Greater Toronto and Hamilton Area.

The auto club says Dufferin Street has made the list seven times over the years, not far behind Steeles Avenue, also in Toronto, which previously earned eight spots on the list.

CAA says it received more than 10,000 votes from across the province, adding that the popularity of the campaign demonstrates that infrastructure remains a critical issue for Ontarians.

The list is not compiled scientifically; voters cast their ballots in an online poll.

The worst roads of 2013 are:

1. Dufferin Street Toronto
2. Burlington Street Hamilton
3. Finch Avenue West Toronto
4. Kraft Creek Road Timmins
5. Bayview Avenue Toronto
6. Lawrence Avenue East Toronto
7. Warncliffe Road South London
8. Bouvier Road Clarence-Rockland.
9. Carling Avenue Ottawa
10. Stanley Avenue Niagara Falls
