Most Dangerous Roads in the World

10. The Puxi Viaduct

If you thought your city intersections were busy then you absolutely hate driving on this massive viaduct located in shanghai china the pushy viaduct is one of the largest and busiest interchanges in the world composed of five levels of bridges that connect two of the city’s busiest highways nun bay road and yanan road, it’s nothing short of chaotic as it allows thousands of vehicles to pass through every hour leading to massive traffic jams if so much as one car accident occurs everyday.

09. The Cabot Trail, Canada

CANADA is known for having some of the world’s most scenic sites but few compared to what can be seen on the cabot trail completed in 1932 the cabot trail is located along canada’s east coast on cape breton island stretching for about 298 kilometers along the northern stretch of the island the route has become a tourist destination with many visitors traveling down it each year in order to take in the views of the cape breton highlands.

08. Stelvio Pass

If zig zagging down a mountain road is appealing to you then look no further than the stelvio pass located in the northern italian alps near the swiss border its 75 hairpin turns make it an extremely dangerous passage for an inexperienced driver yet that hasn’t stopped local authorities from making stelvio pass a sports hotspot as they host an annual stelvio bike day and stelvio marathon day in order to raise funds and bring together the community as a result the stelvio pass is certainly one of the most well-liked roads on this list.

07. Lombard Street

It widely known as the most crooked street in the world lombard street which is located in san francisco is certainly somewhere where slamming on the gas is far from wise that’s because despite being just 180 meters in length it features eight hairpin turns making the road so dangerous that the recommended speed limit is a mere eight kilometers per hour.

06. The Amalfi Coast Highway

While the amalfi coast has garnered worldwide fame for its beautiful views scenic beaches and cute villages in order to visit these scenic sites you must be willing to drive on one of the most dangerous highways in the world formerly known as stratostethale 163 but now more commonly referred to as amalfi drive.

05. Atlantic Ocean Road

While most drivers go to the local car wash to clean their car a trip across atlantic ocean road in norway could essentially do the same thing that’s because this 8.2 kilometer roadway which connects the norwegian mainland to the series of small islands is one of the most beautiful most dangerous and most wet roads in the world that’s because the ocean across its eight bridges is extremely rough with the waves of the atlantic ocean pounding on it so frequently that parts of the bridge are often flooded interestingly enough.

04. The Chancellisee

Unsurprisingly few places in france are nearly as posh as the chanzilizay being about 1.9 kilometers long and 70 meters wide it’s easily one of the most iconic streets in paris as it’s not only the location of the famous arc de triomphe but it is also home to a number of cafes and restaurants or events such as the bastille day parade and the end of the tour de france can leisurely be enjoyed regarding its origins it was first built in 1667 under the reign of louis xiv and since its inception has been a fashionable spot to go for a stroll and while today is often filled with cars and far from walkable

03. Route 66

If you’re an American or have lived in the country for an extended period of time chances are you’ve heard of route 66 one of the most symbolically American roads in the world it was the nation’s first all-weather highway that links Chicago to Los Angeles and stretches for a total of 3940 kilometers reflecting the ideals of freedom journeying westward and the American heartland it truly is an iconic road.

02. Leh Manali Highway

The Leh-Manali highway is generally two lanes wide (one lane in each direction) without a road divider, but has only one or one and a half lanes at some stretches. Snow and rain can make the highway slushy or too slippery to travel. Past precipitation can also create travel hazards. It has over a dozen Bailey bridges and many of them are now being upgraded to two-lane steel bridges. The highway crosses many small streams of ice-cold water from snow-capped mountains and glacial melts without a bridge and it requires driving skill to negotiate fast-flowing streams. The highway has many damaged stretches and under-maintained portions, where even a little rainfall can trigger dangerous landslides. The road quality is poor from Zingzingbar to Pang and high speed can cause discomfort. Still its a heaven for every rider.

01. The Pan American Highway

The pan american highway holding the guinness world record for being the longest motorable road at 30 000 kilometers the pan-american highway truly is massive stretching from pluto bay alaska to ushuaia argentina the road does in theory connect all of north central and south america the idea of such a road was first proposed in 1889 when a pan-american railway was discussed at the first pan-american conference owever the idea was put to rest until it was brought up again at the fifth international conference of american states in 1923 and finally in 1937 argentina bolivia chile colombia costa rica el salvador guatemala honduras mexico nicaragua panama peru canada and the united states signed the onvention on the pan american highway with mexico being the first to complete their section of it in 1950.
