20 Most Dangerous Roads in the World You Wont Believe Exist

Ultimate fact presents top 20 Most Dangerous Roads in the world You Wont Believe Exist. While you are sweating to travel just on a dirt road, there are also bunches of roadways which will give you goose bumps. Based on constructions, road conditions and road safety we came up with 20 most dangerous roads in the world where you need to carry your heart in hand while crossing. The following are in no particular order and the list is far from exhaustive.
1. Karakoram Highway
Connecting China to Pakistan, the “Friendship Highway” is actually not friendly at all. Its 16,000 feet in the air, meaning altitude sickness is a serious issue for anyone braving its sharp turns.
It also has the usual landslides, avalanches, rock slides and unpaved lanes common to mountain highways. You’re basically driving a narrow lane with flat rock on one side and an unguarded death drop on the other. It’s full of buses taking people to the destination.
2. Yungas Road, Bolivia
Generally thought of as the most dangerous ring road in the world. The winding 40 mile road from La Paz to Coroico is mostly single lane, with massive ascents and quick descents.
It has terrible visibility, no guard rails, and bizarre rules that force drivers to drive on the wrong side of the road and stop almost on a dime while going downhill. It’s also prone to rock slides and bad weather that makes the gravel track slick and loose.
It’s not called the “Road of Death” for nothing.
3. Highway 101, Mexico
Highway 101 connects Matamoros which is just south of Brownsville, Texas to Ciudad Victoria and beyond. It’s not inherently dangerous, as it’s well paved and fairly straight. But virtually nobody drives on it due to its use by Mexican drug cartels. The fact that large numbers of corpses are often found along its sides.
Cartel kidnappers are known to pull migrants off buses, cars are hijacked, towns terrorized and multiple mass graves are found almost every year. The US government has warned residents not to use it.
4. Trans-Siberian Highway, Russia
Connecting Vladivostok in the east to St. Petersburg to the west, Russia’s Trans-Siberian Highway is one of the longest in the world.
Crossing everything from forests to tundra to vast stretches of narcotizing nothingness. Much of the drive is uneventful, but there are sections that are deeply foreboding and dangerous. Some of the Siberian section is unpaved and traverses remote stretches far from help or gasoline.
Russia also has a high per capita death rate of its drivers, due to bad roads and drinking.
5. Kabul Jalalabad, Afghanistan
This is one of the most terrifying roads anywhere in the world. Also humanitarian reasons, one of the most important.
It’s got terrible gridlock due to overloaded trucks getting stuck on it, steep vertical drops, sharp turns, and kamikaze drivers. Buses and trucks often slam into each other and tumble hundreds of feet into the valleys below or cars simply plow into the rock walls.
6. Ruta 5, Chile
Runs from the Peruvian border to Puerto Montt and connects via ferry to Chiloé Island. Despite built modern and well paved by the construction companies, it’s notoriously dangerous.
Drivers easily lose their concentration and drive off the road or hit other cars.
7. Zojila Pass, India
If you want to pick a remote road to get killed on, this winding mountain pass has it all.
High altitude, high winds, mud, heavy snowfall, narrow lanes, steep drops, and no road safety. The roads leading to the Himalaya Mountains are among the highest and deadliest anywhere and Zojila is probably the harshest.
8. The Barton Highway, Australia
Connecting Canberra to Yass, the Barton Highway is generally thought to be the worst and most dangerous major road.
Located in a rapidly growing part of the country, it’s too small for the large amount of traffic it gets and is in poor condition in many areas. It also has drivers who tend to tailgate, causing numerous traffic clogging rear end accidents, not maintaining any highway code and the rules by highway agencies.
9. Taroko Gorge Road, Taiwan
Probably the most dangerous route. This narrow mountain road offers spectacular views. Depending on the weather, a pretty good chance of dying.
Heavy rain can result in landslides and there’s not a small chance of a cyclone hitting it out of nowhere. It’s also full of blind corners and steep drops, with pedestrians, cars, and tour buses all fighting for space.
10. Highway 550, Colorado
Known as the “Million Dollar Highway” is also one of the most dangerous in America.
This national highway climbs three different mountain passes, with large variations in temperature and road grade. It’s narrow, steep, unforgiving with some parts having no guard rails. It’s not too bad as far as mountain roads go and plenty of people drive it. It’s best to go slow and not get distracted by the views.
