Re: The 14 Most Dangerous Roads In The World

[3] Yungas Road, Bolivia
Yungas Road connects the Bolivian cities of La Paz and Coroico. Descending
from a height of 3,300 to 360 m (2 mi to 1,181 ft) above sea level, it forms a number
of loops. Despite the fact that the road is very narrow, even trucks manage to pass
each other. However, one of them often has to back up for quite a distance.
[4] Eyre Highway, Australia
Looking at this highway, one can hardly imagine it’s really dangerous. However,
the number of accidents on this 1,600-km (994 mi) stretch of Australian highway,
built far from localities, is really high. The reason is quite simple: the landscapes
here are so monotonous that drivers simply fall asleep at the wheel.
