Yellow is the new green.
CAA requests our feedback annually with their
worst roads campaign. No Surprise here, the most
accident prone road in Ontario is the 401. The worst section is between White's Road in Pickering and Courtice east of Oshawa according to the OPP. This road obviously has a much higher volume of traffic than other areas, this particular section is where the core and collector lanes split or merge, depending on which direction you're traveling.
