Below are some of the most dangerous roads in the world. Be it that you want to venture these roads for yourself or you would rather have a detour, it lets us remind ourselves to be careful all in all when traveling.
Stelvio Pass Road, Italy. The 2.7 km road is curvy, and people often find themselves winding up in trouble taking the next turn. Many complain that the road churns up their stomachs, compelling people to vomit most of the time. However, the Pass is considered as one of the most scenic rides in the world. Be careful if you want to venture this road, especially during rainy or snowy months.
BR-116, Brazil. You can't say that the highway is in bad condition, neither it is well-maintained. Thrillist considered it to be 'acceptable.' Other than the fact your car might swerve during inclement weather, there are chances that gangs or bandits are stationed at some point of the highway.
Arica to Iquique Road, Chile. The road is a vehement reminder to all drivers not to lose their concentration despite seeing a clear, flat road. Just because the Arica to Iquique Road seems safe and secure, drivers still have to keep their eyes out there and look for road cracks or turns. You don't want to end up like the eerie car carcasses by the side, do you?
Patiopoulo-Perdikaki Road, Greece. Let's see. Narrow road. Filled with holes. Doesn't have a guard rail. Very high. Slippery when wet. Chances of death. Yes, very much.
Skippers Canyon Road, New Zealand. Because the road is highly dangerous, you actually need a permit to cross it. And even though you have one, there's a pretty good chance you'll swerve and fall. But of course, the Skippers holds one of the most scenic cruises in New Zealand. With foliage growing among the rocks and clear blue sea below the road, you can say it's mesmerizing.
