We are fortunate in the West that, for the most part, we get to drive on roads that have road markings, traffic circles, lights, and road signs. However, not all countries have features designed to keep us safe.
An online post asks motorists to share the worst roads they have ever experienced. So here are some of the most dangerous roads you would be best avoiding around the world.
One such road is the incredible Sichuan-Tibet Highway in southwestern China, climbing from 500 to 4,000 meters. The risk of landslides and the quality of some stretches makes this road treacherous.
Claiming many lives in recent history, this 66-mile-long mountain road is dangerously narrow in places, with vertical, rocky walls on one side and a misty drop on the other.
