Canada's most dangerous winter roads are in Ontario, a new study report says. The study was conducted by Samsara, a company that works in the field of vehicle safety. The study used accident data collected using sensors and cameras in vehicles between 2022 and 2025.

Six of the ten most dangerous winter roads in Canada are in Ontario. The most dangerous road is Erieau Road near Lake Erie. The study points out that the risk of this road is six times higher than other roads on the list. Strong winds and humidity from Lake Erie seriously affect this road. This narrow two-lane road is exacerbated by snow caused by the lake. Also on the list are Highway 17 in Kenora-Dryden, Highway 11 in Heist-Kapuskasing, and the Queen Elizabeth Way in Burlington Skyway. The Mississauga and Scarborough sections of the busy Highway 401 are also high-risk areas in winter, according to data collected using artificial intelligence sensors.
