Hello everyone.
Throughout our history, roads have proved to be the safest and most convenient way to
travel nearby and far off places.
Without roads, we wouldn't have made this much progress in the world.
But sometimes, travelling through roads can get really dangerous as there are some roads
in the world which are known to provide the scariest experiences when you get your car
to travel through them.
Don't you believe me?
So have a look at these most dangerous roads in the world.
But before we do that, make sure to subscribe and hit the bell icon so that you get the
instant notification of our new video uploads.
So let's get started.
Atlantic Ocean Road, Norway
The first road in our list is the Atlantic Ocean Road.
This road in Norway is an 8.3 km highway that includes 8 bridges to connect the island of
Avery with the mainland at Ive.
The rollercoaster feel and the curvy bridges of this road has made it a favourite destination
among the travellers and the motorcyclists.
It's almost like driving through the edge of the Norwegian sea as the brutal sea waves
just crash upon you and the pavements during storms, making it slippery and difficult to
drive through the way.
This road is known for the most famous scenic drive in Norway but be aware, it can get you
in real trouble.
Karakoram Highway, Pakistan
Karakoram Highway, popularly known as the 8th wonder of the world, is a 1,300 km national
highway connecting China and Pakistan via Karakoram mountain range.
This highway not just took high cost and time to get built but also accounted for the loss
of 810 Pakistani and 82 Chinese road workers mostly due to landslides.
It requires real guts and stamina to drive through the twists and turns of this road.
It wheels sometimes just on the edge and thank god for making it even more dangerous as avalanches,
heavy snowfalls and landslides can get in your way anytime.
So guys as a humble tip to you, if you are new at driving, please don't attempt to travel
this road.
Transfăgărșan, Romania
Transfăgărșan is a 90 km paved mountain road crossing the southern section of the
Carpathian Mountains of Romania.
Known for one of the most scenic drives in the world, this road has endless twists and
turns with a highest elevation of 6,699 feet above sea level.
But don't be fooled by its beauty as this road is also known for one of the most tunneled
drives with a longest tunnel of 884 meters.
And to make it even worse, this long tunnel has very few lights and is almost dark.
This road is usually covered by snow for most part of the year and opens for travellers
only during summer.
Transfăgărșan is a challenging attraction for hikers, cyclists, drivers and motorcyclists
as the average speed here can be 40 km per hour.
So now if this road seems an easy good option to travel, then here's a word of caution
for you.
Before you even think so, this road has no barriers with high sheer drops of more than
1000 feet.
Passage d'Augois, France
Passage d'Augois is a 4.3 km natural and periodically flooded passage in Atlantic coast
leading to the island of Neumotor in France.
It's flooded twice a day thus making the surface of the road really slippery.
This passage is only accessible during the low tides as the passage entirely gets submerged
into water during the high tides.
So you must have an inflatable boat in your car whenever you're driving through this
road.
Also, you must drive slow to avoid skidding through the passage and must never park on
the pavement is what's really recommended to the drivers.
Now finally it's time to reveal the world's most dangerous road.
Youngest Road, Bolivia
Now this road in the northern Bolivia is most popularly known as the road of death.
Yes, you heard it right, the road of death.
In 2006, estimates revealed that around 200-300 travellers being killed every year along this
road.
This road climbs upto 15,260 feet at the La Cumbra Pass before descending at 3,900 feet
at the town of Coraycum.
This road is covered with high fog and low visibility during the rainy season from November
to March.
So now if you're thinking to travel this road in summer, then be aware again because
it's not even safe during the summer as rockfalls are common and dust from vehicles
affects the visibility too.
So guys, these were some of the most dangerous roads in the world.
