Don’t Risk Driving On The World’s Most Dangerous Roads
Trans-Siberian Highway – Russia
Spanning the width of Russia, the Trans-Siberian Highway is actually a network of Russian highways. Covering 6,800 miles, the T-S Highway traverses several environments, ranging from forests to desert. And up until 2015, this huge network was not fully paved.
Highway 1 – Mexico
Highway 1 in Mexico runs the length of the Baja California Peninsula. The mainly two-lane highway travels from Tijuana to Cabo San Lucas. Here, travelers should expect rocky and dirt-paved roads with dangerous turns near coasts with limited guardrails.
Cotopaxi Volcano Road – Ecuador
As a branch of the Pan-American highway, Cotopaxi Volcano Road takes drivers to the Cotopaxi Volcano National Park. As expected, loose gravel and rock roads will cause poor traction, notable potholes litter the 25-mile route, and questionable weather conditions can instantly alter the safety of a drive.
Pan-American Highway
Stretching 19,000 miles, the Pan-American Highway travels throughout North and South America. In the North, the highway begins or ends in Prudhoe Bay, Alaska and finishes in either Quelton, Chile or Ushuaia, Argentina. In 19,000, you best expect a little bit of every hazard when making this trip.
A682 – UK
Similar to other low-key English roads, A682 is also involved with hundreds of fatalities. No word on causes, but we’re positive speeding, driving while under the influence, and weather conditions all play their part.
