1. "Road of Death" in Bolivia
"North Jungas" is a road that can be called, without hesitation, the most dangerous road in the world. It is located in the Bolivian Andes, 43, 5 miles from La Paz, towards the city of Koroik., It is 2, 1 miles long and it has extreme curves and a 2624 feet deep chasm. Fatal accidents occur almost every two weeks, and about 100-200 people per year die here. In 1995, this road officially claimed the title of “the most dangerous in the world."
Along the road you can find the remains of the recent (and older) accidents. The road is mainly used by buses and heavy trucks, as this is the only one in this region. Unfortunately, this is also a very busy road as there are constantly many vehicles on it. The fog that rises above the lush tropical vegetation only makes the conditions for driving worse. To make things even worse, the tropical climate makes the road to slowly erode.
2. The Russian - Siberian Route to Yakutsk
This is the official and only highway to Yakutsk. Since there are no other roads drivers are forced to break through the mud (if it is possible), or to wait in a 62 miles long line to pass... When the rains are heavy, the road becomes just impassable ... and the nearby villages remain cut off for days and months from the world...
3. The Russian - Georgian Military Mountain Road
This road leads through the Caucasus Mountains, but fortunately there isn’t much traffic on it. You can sometimes run into a drunk driver and he is a risk if you meet him on the road ... but that is pretty much typical for the mountain roads, isn’t it?
