As of 2018, there are 102 million miles worth of roads in the world that have been cataloged. And while the majority of those roads may be freshly paved and smoothed over, there are plenty that veers from the beaten path and requires a sturdy vehicle and driver to navigate. But then there are the roads that are downright dangerous. Whether it's because of steep cliffs, tight turns, or the risk of avalanches and earthquakes, these are the roads that can be so difficult to traverse that they can claim the lives of those unfortunate enough to fall victim to them. So join us for today’s video, where we look at the 15 most extreme roads in the world!

Your statement is mostly true, if a bit melodramatic. However, I can guarantee that none of MY ancestors built these roads. I prefer to give credit where it's due, and that is to the people living there at the time who did all the hard, backbreaking work, not to my ancestors, who did other kinds of backbreaking work right here in America.

I am a New Zealander, Skippers Canyon road is so bad, insurance companies won't cover you if you have an accident on it. However, I don't think they have the number of deaths on it right. 1st off, we'd hear about it, NZ is not so big that 180+ deaths on it wouldn't be common knowledge. Aside from that, what was 2020? Oh that's right, 1st year of covid, wasn't nobody coming to visit, and I can't see enough kiwis going there to get to 180+ deaths by accident on it.

The Yungas Road is not really used anymore by cars. It's now mainly used for downhill mountainbiking (which I did this year) and some locals who are living here. A newer road took over the role of the Yungas Road and all traffic is using this road. Moreover, a mudslide covered the road making it impossible for vehicles to cross the entire road. So that's why there's barely any motorized traffic here.

It was good to learn that none of them was in my neck of the woods. I don’t plan to be any where close to any of those roads. The closest I have come to a road similar to any of these was in New Mexico. It was a narrow two lane gravel road without railings to keep one from taking a nose dive down a cliff. But it was maintained. If my memory is correct it was a 30 to 40 mile trip. I was told it was about a 2 hour drive, and it was.

16:50 the narrator says that 185 people lost their lives in 2021 on Skipper's Canyon Road, New Zealand. This is false. No one lost their lives on that road in 2021, in fact, there were not even any accidents on that road! That was HALF the road death toll for the entire country of New Zealand that year, when the stats were being collated.

I think 0 people died on Skippers - I can't even remember the last time there was a significant accident on it. I've been down it a few times but I'd never drive it myself, and likely wouldn't go again (too scared of heights and drops).

@melody5296 Год назад

*Note: The first image of the video section is actually a different road. The road that is focused on in this video does not go along the coast.* Went on the one in Taiwan a few months ago, and it's absolutely beautiful. I rate that entire road a 100/10. That trip made April 18th 2022 the best day of my life so far. On that road I always see signs that warn about falling rocks, and I often see news about boulders damaging the road. However these incidents usually happen during rain, typhoons and earthquakes, and as long as you avoid these when going there, you're mostly fine. Still, watch out and be careful! (I was expecting to see that one when I clicked on this video, and sure enough, it's there.)

@lesliehunter1823 Год назад

A bit difficult to "avoid" the earthquakes. I was in a 6.5 on the Taroko Gorge road 37 years ago before it was developed. If you look very carefully across the gorge you can see indigenous cave dwellers on the side of the cliffs. It is the ideal place to study the concept of empty space in Chinese painting.

@davem8836 Год назад

Canada's most dangerous roadway is also the most scenic. The Sea-To-Sky connecting Vancouver to Whistler. The road is so scenic, that tourists are constantly taking their eyes off the road resulting in head on collisions. That's when a landslide isn't closing it or it being washed out in heavy rainfall. When I was a cop working in that area years ago, it seemed we were attending a serious motor-vehicle accident there on a daily or nightly basis, or both.

@feliciasampson8032 Год назад

And he was answered that they go ON Lena for last half an hour. "But there's snow fields left and right and no river" he said. Then they told him "we are approximately in the centre of Lena and there're about two miles to a shore on each side" He was shocked and scared. He said they passed about 30 miles by the river

@brandoncruise6398 Год назад

in the 1980s on Pikes Peak there was no pavement or guard rails going up the 14,115 foot mountain. Some parts of the road were pretty wide while others were narrow enough to allow for only one vehicle to pass. The number of turns: 156. While the whole road is paved nowadays, it can still put fear into the soul of every driver. This is a road that is absolutely not for the faint of heart. Hogback Ridge, also in Colorado is one that some might consider an even scarier drive, but fun nonetheless. Imagine a road so narrow and high up that when you look out the side windows you don’t see ground near your tires, but sky. Several hundred feet of drop off space existon both sides of your vehicle for the entire mile long drive…….. and it is not a flat straight road either.

Awesome! "It remains as thin, narrow and horrifying..." 🤣 Those views are Amazing. Some of those are definitely Trails and not roads. You can take a motorized vehicle on a trail, but that doesn't make it a road 😂 it just makes you an idiot with a death-wish, or really really desperate. The dirt bikes were totally appropriate for those thin "roads". It really looks like a free-for-all on some of them and, while I hate to hear of people dying in such a preventable circumstance, they could def take more precautions. It is kinda startling and somewhat refreshing to know that, in this day and age, not all places of this world are over-developed. They could def use some barriers and reflectors on their Trails though. Those folks got Way more guts than I do, that's for sure. Great episode !!

Skippers Road in New Zealand is a back country road that is a no exit and doesn't go anywhere. Most rental cars aren't insured on it and most of it isn't that narrow. It's the start of the road that is the worst. The start of the road is about 900m about sea level and descends about 600m.
