15 Roads Every Western New Yorker Wants To Avoid

It’s that time of year where construction season is in full swing and it seems like every fun event in the world is in Buffalo, New York, and it can be quite a headache trying to get around and navigate the traffic. 

And it may have gotten so bad that you have a least favorite street!

Don’t worry, you’re not alone. A lot of us actually agree when it comes to the worst roads during this time of year, and if you have traveled down them, you would most likely agree. 

We took a poll on our Facebook page, and here are the top 15 worst roads in Western New York. 

Is it really a surprise that Transit Rd turned out to be the worst road to drive? That is such a busy street, even when it’s not construction season, but there’s a few other roads that made the list and you can understand why.

Borden Rd. in Depew, ranking #4, always has construction, so that’s why many people voted it up to that ranking. 

Not to mention the Twin Cities Highway in North Tonawanda has lights at every intersection that constantly go red, which makes it take forever to get down the highway. Many residents of North Tonawanda agreed that there was “no easy way to get out of North Tonawanda,” which is why Twin Cities Highway landed #6 on the list. 

East Avenue in Akron has a reputation for being “one big pothole,” which is sad in such a beautiful town. That makes East Avenue a solid #8 on the list.

Abbott Rd may have shocked you, but until the construction is done and they mill it & resurface it in Lackawanna, it’s a bear to drive down. And #12 Indian Rd in the Cheektowaga/Depew is waiting to be paved, especially between Broadway and Como Park Blvd. 

It’s just something we’ll have to be patient with, and hopefully these roads become less of a nightmare soon.
