VIDEO: These Are the Most Dangerous Roads on the Whole Planet

Most people like to travel and to see wonderful places. But in order to get to the places you want to see you sometimes have to go through some places that aren’t all that amazing or are quite dangerous.

These roads are all quite beautiful, some are even stunning, but at the same time they are also the most dangerous ones in the world and one single wrong step and you could lose your life. But on your way down you will see great scenery!

According to wonderslist.com, these are the most dangerous roads in the world. These roads have high death rates and are extremely dangerous.

The people who live around these areas depend on these roads for their daily transportation; so consider yourself lucky.

About 1.3 million people die in traffic accidents every year. The World Health Organization has declared 2011-2021, “A decade of action for road safety.”

But while many of those deaths could be prevented by better driving, there are some roads that test the skill, and courage, of any driver. Whether it’s hairpin bends, sheer mountain drops or roads through war zones, the following are the ten most dangerous roads in the world.

The Sichuan-Tibet Highway, a high-elevation road between Chengdu and Tibet where landslides and rock avalanches are common, is undoubtedly part of the problem.

It is a road with a record of over 7,500 deaths for every 100,000 drivers has reason to be feared. Due to rock slides, avalanches, and poor weather drivers should certainly use caution.

The Stelvio Pass located in Italy, at 9045 feet is the highest paved mountain pass in the Eastern Alps, and the second highest in the Alps, slightly below the Col de l’Iseran 9088 feet.

Some roads look a lot more dangerous than they really are. With more hairpins than Helena Bonham Carter, the Stelvio Pass looks like a child’s scribble over the hills.

The road climbs almost two kilometers and, with just a low concrete barrier between you and the steep mountain drop, it’s best not to look down.

A bit too much speed on one of the road’s 60 180-degree corners could spell disaster.

This road passes through mountain Andreas between Chile and Argentina.The road has many steep slopes and sharp turns without fences security.

The road is snow-covered almost all the year. Snow together with the complex natural landscape requires extreme patience and driving skill to drive in emergency situations.

However, this road is maintained in working condition, which significantly reduces the number of accidents on it. Trucks and even double-decker tourist buses travel daily on this road.

The Skippers Canyon Road, located in New Zealand, is unbelievably scary as it’s made from a very narrow cut in the middle of a sheer cliff face.

This winding road actually requires a special permit to drive. If you do manage to get permission though, be ready for a slippery challenge and good luck if you run into someone coming from the other direction.

Zoji La is a high mountain pass in India, located on the Indian National Highway 1D between Srinagar and Leh. The pass provides a vital link between Ladakh and Kashmir.

It runs at an elevation of approximately 3,528 metres, and is the second highest pass after Fotu La. It is often closed during winter. But it’s a lifeline that keeps the people of Ladakh in touch with the rest of the world.
