Bad roads to avoid?

Bayview Ave has been ranked the worst road for 2016 - in the past is has been Dufferin Ave for years. Regardless if you're going North or South, through personal experience, Bayview is pretty bad.

Feel free to share anywhere you would avoid - broken roads, undercover cops, bad/crazy drivers, etc.!

Bayview is actually pretty good from the 401 south to just before Lawrence, as that stretch was paved last year (likely due to all the complaints). Warden Avenue north of Sheppard is pretty nasty as is Sheppard pretty well anywhere east of the 404.

Scarborough in general is pretty brutal especially on a lowered car.

Majority of my commute is in York Region and the roads are pretty good up here. I remember Bayview and paving last year so thank goodness for that. Good to know which roads to avoid if I'm ever heading to Scarbs.

Bayview from Steeles to about there (north and south) is brutal. Avoid the right lane at all cost. I hope it's paved soon..

York Region is all new compared to Scarb and North York. Especially hwy 7.. But traffic's bad, plus lots of cops at night. What do you think of the new left turn lane system and the lane for VIVA?

The dedicated left turn lanes are troublesome for many who are in a hurry. The bus rapidway in the middle does cause a separation and force drivers to utilize intersections and do U turns there. It only provides service for transit and less for drivers. I avoid Hwy 7 unless I absolutely need to. Honestly, the majority of businesses and residents of York Region is on the southern part so the east-west corridor transit expansion is alright considering that 407 and alternative roads are available. For car enthusiasts it's no good, better off to go north!

Everyone avoid Sprucewood Dr., there's a nutcase who throws rocks at passing cars if they have under 400whp. No Joke.

Bayview has been lookin' good lately with the newly paved roads. Shouldn't be too long when all of Bayview is smooth like butter.
