12 Most Dangerous Roads In The World
12.
Trans Siberian Highway Much like the Trans Canada Highway as well
as the Australia's Highway 1, the Trans-Siberian Highway is said to be one of the longest roads
in the world.
In order to get from Vladivostok to St. Petersburg it crosses forests, mountains, deserts, and
everything in between.
Much of it is unpaved and certainly not ideal for a casual Sunday drive.
If you're the type of person who likes making trips like this, Please for the love of god
(And believe us, We'll be saying this throughout the rest of this video), At least get your
vehicle serviced before even attempting to make any of these journeys.
11.
Stelvio Pass, Italy Stelvio Pass is without a doubt one of the
most intimidating roads on this list!
At 9,045ft up in the Alps, the Stelvio Pass is admittedly one of the most scenic drives
in the world.
Like seriously the views are and photos you can take along this route are phenomenal!
It's almost worth the dangerous journey in order to see these sites.
That being said however, the 180-degree corners are dangerous, the concrete barriers low,
and winter brings icy roads and slick conditions.
One wrong move could send you over the cliffs.
10.
The Canalie Highway, Nepal Very similar to the North Yungas Road (and
don't worry, We'll be getting to that road later on the list), the 155-mile Karnali
Hwy in the Himalayas of West Nepal is pretty much a death wish to anyone who even thinks
about attempting this journey as approximately 50 people die there a year.
The biggest factor of this road is it's dirt surface.
This surface is so bad that even cyclists who decide to go out for a nice bike ride
tend to struggle going across it and even going out of their way to say to themselves
"Yeah, I ain't dyin today!".
As you can probably imagine, vehicles that attempt to drive down this road tend to slide
on patches of dirt, choke on steep climbs, and generally get wrecked up from one too
many potholes.
As we've stated, Attempting to travel down this road is pretty much a suicide mission.
Just don't do it!
9.
Kabul-Jalalabad Highway, Afghanistan Kabul-Jalalabad Highway is located in "the
Valley of Death," and is notorious as this road is highly populated and monitored by
the Taliban and attacks are de rigueur -- so don't expect a lovely sunday drive out the
house when travelling on this road.
Even with the Taliban set aside, the narrow mountain passes that always seem to be full
of oversized freight trucks are just as frightening.
8.
Pan-American Highway So the thing that makes the Pan-American Highway
so dangerous is the many dangerous roads that branch off the from the main road, However,
the highway itself can be fairly dangerous as well.
It has been given the nickname of the "longest motorable" road in the world as you can
travel by car from the stretches of Alaska down to the tip of South America, which is
about a 30,000 miles in total.
That is just absolute madness when you think about it.
As you can imagine, crossing two continents and traversing through jungles, mountains,
glaciers, and deserts can inevitably lead to some challenges.
All we'll say is make sure your car is serviced before attempting to make this trip because
it's a long bumpy ride!
7.
The Federal Highway, Mexico Probably the second most dangerous road in
Mexico, The Federal Highway features sheer drops into the sea, winding narrow roads and
probably the worst types of drivers who have no consideration for anyone else on the road
who decide that it's a great idea to use dangerous overtaking manoeuvres on this wild
snake of a highway.
The worst thing about this highway is that it's pretty safe if you yourself are a safe
driver and there's no reckless drivers while you're driving.
It's an unpredictable nightmare for the many freight trucks, buses and cars that pass
it every day.
Watch out for the other drivers – in 6 Mexican states you don't need to pass a test to
drive a car.
Good luck.
6.
Nanga Parbat Pass, Pakistan Considering the nickname of this road is the"'Fairy
Meadows Road', You'd think it wouldn't be that dangerous.
Well turns out the road itself is on a treacherous high altitude with unstable and narrow mountain
roads.
Clearly the road does not suit the nickname 'Fairy Meadows Road".
Drive this one and you'll need to ascend a 6-mile unpaved and uneven road, without
barriers.
That being said however, You are guaranteed to get some amazing pictures if you are able
to survive the dangerous trip.
5.
Taroko Gorge Road, Taiwan Okay so admittedly the sites you will see
while driving along this road are amazing.
Definitely one of the more beautiful roads to drive along.
That being said, It's just a shame that this is also one of the most dangerous!
With blind bends, narrow roads, mountain drops and every type of transport possible vying
for space, the Taroko Gorge Road is one of the most dangerous in Taiwan.
The Taroko Gorge Road goes along a steep cliffside as it is full of blind curves, incredibly
sharp turns, and narrow paths leading through cliffs and mountains.
Again, The sites you will see while driving along this road are magnificent, however it's
just not worth risking your life for.
4.
John Dalton Highway , Alaska So at first glance, this road doesn't seem
dangerous.
Welp even the most peaceful looking roads can be dangerous as the John Dalton Highway
is a prime example of this.
The James Dalton Highway in Alaska, although appearing serene at first glance, is filled
with many potholes ranging in different sizes making the driver's trip a lot more bumpy,
small flying rocks carried by fast winds, risking the chance of damaging your vehicle
and even damaging the driver's windscreen, obscuring their view, and possibly the worst
thing about this road of all is the fact that this road runs through the middle of nowhere.
We recommend avoiding this road at all costs.
3.
Commonwealth Avenue, Philippines OH DEAR GOD!
What is this madness?
This so looking at these pictures, as you can tell there is very little organization
going on right now!
So Commonwealth Avenue has been given (And rightfully so) the nickname of the "Killer
Highway" of the Philippines.
Commonwealth Avenue in Quezon City is one of the most dangerous roads in the world as
it has seen numerous pedestrian, cyclist, and vehicular deaths over the years due to
awful regulations and enforcement of traffic laws.
Seriously, this must be what non-drivers must see in their nightmares!
2.
BR-116, Brazil So rather than the Road itself being dangerous,
It's all down to the fact that the road is just too damn long!
This road is second longest road in Brazil and has infamously been given the nickname
"The Highway of Death" for obvious reasons.
So okay, Big deal, it's a long road.
What makes it so dangerous.
Every year thousands of people die due to its poor upkeep and maintenance and drivers
are even killed by local criminals and bandits on this road.
As we've said, It's not the road itself that's dangerous.
1.
North Yungas Road, Bolivia You may recognise this road better by the
name it's been given by many locals living in the region.
"The Road of Death".
That's right.
Made famous (Or infamous in this case) on an episode of Top Gear (Before Jeremy Clarkson
got the boot), The Road of Death it is often cited as the most dangerous road in the world.
It is a regular occurrence for buses and trucks to go tumbling to the valley below, especially
when they try passing each other.
Looking at the pictures on screen is enough to make someone cringe at the sheer thought
of driving along this road.
Again referring back to that episode of Top Gear, Jeremy Clarkson was put in a position
where he was required to let a another car pass by him, Forcing him almost off the edge
of the cliff.
Scripted or not, That was still terrifying to watch!
