does Toronto has good streets in general ..?
 
By any chance any of our members that lives in Toronto can share his comments about the condition of the streets in Toronto?
Some cities are infamous for the pot holes, in So.Cal I believe that we have pretty decent pavement.

I saw a used set of JRZ II's coilovers fpr sale with (supposedly) low miles in Toronto, but this does not matter much if the streets
over there are full of potholes... :rolleyes:

Toronto....like all big cities has both good and poor road conditions. What can I say???

The condition of the roads here are not bad in general, though you have to watch out for the occasional pothole.
I am more worried about clueless or inconsiderate drivers than potholes. Potholes you can spot, jackasses less so.

Based on my experience (live in Toronto and have visited many US cities)... Toronto streets are quite a bit better than other northern / eastern seaboard US cities. Not as good as Arizona or California type southern cities however. One problem we have is that for a few months every spring the roads get a lot of post winter potholes. The cities are quick to fill them (they’re good at it as it happens every year), but for the months of April and May it’s like a mine field.

As another poster said though there are good and bad roads. If you drive through older residential areas those streets are rubbish. But usually you’re just creeping through them and spot anything threatening at that speed. The main roads in Toronto are far from billiard table smooth but they are pretty good especially considering how unforgiving he climate is.

Not just a Toronto thing.
Too many people drive like they just knocked off a liquor store.
