The World Record Most Dangerous Roads

Bolivia's Road of Death
The North Yungas Road is a 38 to 43 mile road (depending on source) largest on La Paz to Coroico, in the Yungas area of Bolivia and is definitely the numerous dicey road in the industry for motorists.
It is well&wshyp;known for its excessive danger and in 1995 the Inter-American Development Bank christened it as the "world's a good number of uncertain road". One estimate is the present a fatal accident takes place there most every couple of weeks and 200-300 travellers are killed yearly along the road
The road in addition includes Christian crosses marking multiple of the areas at which these types of vehicles undergo fallen. Upon resigning La Paz, the road beforehand ascends up to just about 5km, before descending to 1079 ft (330 m), transitioning eventually of cool altiplano terrain to rain forest as it winds throughout remarkably costly hillsides and atop cliffs.
The road was made in the 1930s for the duration of the Chaco War by Paraguayan prisoners. Because of the insane dropoffs, single-lane width, and lack of guardrails, the road is woefully dangerous. Further still, rain and fog can force visibility precarious, the road surface muddy, and loosen rocks according to the hillsides above. Wikipedia.
