      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.

    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.

      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.

    *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.)

      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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

I think 0 people died on Skippers - I can't even remember the last time there was a significant accident on it.

    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 !!

    I feel like the road I take to work everyday is the most dangerous in the world. Not because it’s narrow with cliffs to fall off of, but because of all the idiot drivers!

    I was on the road in Bolivia in 1964.
    It was harrowing and led to a village with native dancers and wild parrots.

    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.

      Black bear pass is a lot of fun, especially for a lifted wrangler. My 2010 liberty is pretty decent, but not like my old Wrangler was. I might put a small lift on the liberty if I can figure out how to get a little more breath-ability and power out of the engine.

    Come on! Some are not dangerous at all, only to drivers that are reckless! Paved, with guide rails... Try some of the other mentions here...
    I recommend the back road to Crown King, Arizona. It has no guide, no paving, just hairpins and loose sand n rocks... Not unless you have a 4*4 and know how to drive it!

    Certainly some of these roads look super dangerous. I am afraid of heights, and so I probably wouldn't even go near half of them. However, I have travelled the Taroko Gorge roads several times, and yes, while they are a little narrow, lots of blind corners, and subject to rock falls, if I can do it, most would have no problems. So, when I see how the Taroko Gorge roads are a little overrated here, it makes me wonder about some of the others. (Before the roads were upgraded they were a lot more dangerous and probably worthy of the list, but all the shots here are of the newer road, and some of the coastal road, which by nature cannot be a gorge road.) The Norwegian bridge did not appear as high as it was made out to be. Also, the Fairy Meadows road, while it looked harrowing, and I would not even walk it, I can't help but wonder... In the video it said that cars had to be left at some point and the rest done on foot. So, is there like a huge car park where all the cars are left while people complete the journey on foot? I'm assuming they will walk back to their cars at a later date and drive back. Hmmm.
    One of the things that makes these roads dangerous, any road for that matter, are the impatient, dangerous drivers. Example @4:10. Can't wait to pass, so squeezes by on a blind corner. We've traversed roads that are pretty safe in general, except when the quarry trucks come round blind corners crossing the double yellow lines. (e.g. the coastal road referred to earlier)
