I've been on those kind of roads in Ecuador and Bolivia. The bus drivers are incredible. We once met D8 tractor coming uo the one-lane, winding cliffhanger road. The bus driver backed up a quarter mile to a wide spot using his rear view mirrors.
Its a way to vent frustration. If you're a westerner, trust me you have not experi3nced traffic like in india or china. With out unnecessarily insane populati9n, people get super frustrated.
Decades ago I was a passenger in a car that drove to the top of Mt Washington in New Hampshire. I vowed then I'd never go on that auto road again. I couldn't imagine going on most of these roads 😱
I traveled this road in 1994, it was the scariest thing I've ever done ,there were buses 1000ft down totally destroyed from when they went over the cliff. I'm glad I made it out alive.
In Utah, there's also a road carved in the snow. It's in the high Uinta Moutains and leads to Mirror Lake. It only passable during a few months of the year because of the deep snow.
Since 2005, the Karnali Highway has recorded more than 1,000 deaths and 1,000 injuries. And with the numbers, this highway, once the threshold of development, got a new name: the highway of death.
Yet it is completely vital for the country, so much so that in 2010 when it was closed for three months due to landslides people literally starved to death because they couldn't get enough supplies in. 1/3rd of the country is only accessible on foot without this highway.
As I saw the car on the ice I remembered the show, ice road truckers. In some places in Canada's north, the only way to get supplies in is during the winter when the lakes rivers freeze over and trucks can get through
The fear of falling off cliffs is often associated with acrophobia, which is the fear of heights. While acrophobia encompasses a broad fear of heights in general, the specific fear of falling from a high place, like a cliff, may also be a subset of this phobia. If the fear is more focused on the act of falling itself rather than the height, it might be described as basophobia or basiphobia-the fear of falling.
@@aexetanius- Bro! I think he’s referring specifically to the probability of dying which is totally justified! I doubt that the 99.9% of people in this world who would NOT travel these roads could be described as having an irrational fear of heights or “phobia” as you’ve described it! I am not afraid of heights but i would not traverse a tightrope strung between two skyscrapers!
I think everyone has falling off a steep cliff. It's like saying I think I have a fear of a loaded gun to my head that some people don't have... 99% of normal people fear dangerous life-threatening things like all animals have preprogrammed healthy fear which assists in survival.
We used to have an abandon railroad Tressel in r neighborhood when I was a kid. Before it was removed, we drove our dirtbikes over it. The trick with blasting over huge missing gaps is to go full speed.
Never thought the 7 mile bridge would be on this. I remember hating going to Key west. I use to get on the floor of the car and shake in terror. All I can remember about this bridge growing up, I had 5 middle school friends who died on this bridge in 5 different occasions. I hated going to the Keys and passing over this .
11:54 - conquered the Dalton and the Dempster in June 2019. Played in the Arctic Ocean in Toktoyatuk NW Terroritory, Canada and a full body dip in Prudhoe Bay, Alaska.
Ain't this or the Yaxi Expressway is nothing compared to the toll roads of Baja California, Mexico. The Chinese need to take a few pages out of the Mexican playbook. The breathtaking scenery along Mexico's Carretera Transpeninsular is unrivaled, offering travelers awe-inspiring ocean views and rugged landscapes that the Yaxi Expressway simply can't match. The smooth ride and meticulously maintained roads in Baja make it a true driving paradise. Plus, the vibrant culture and warm hospitality found along the way create a travel experience that is genuinely unforgettable. If you're seeking adventure and natural beauty, Baja's highways deliver in abundance, surpassing anything you'll find on the Yaxi Expressway.
The roads in such places with simple out dated vehicles cruising them & here in the states we have ads of brand new advanced vehicles that break on the side of a paved highway.. 🚙
Well, the Norwegian bridge is one i'd love to drive on, that does not belong on a list with "Roads You Would Never Want to Drive on". Neither does the Stelvio! That's a beautifull mountain road. I've driven here tens of times without seeing any problem at all. OK, sometimes you have to wait if a big car is taking one of the hairpins, but that's all! Le passage du Gois is also very good doable! The road is accesdable from one and a half hour before low tide till one and a half hour past low tide. On each side there are clocks and signs that notify you if it is still save to cross. The road is on the bottom of the sea and hundreds of people park next to the road to collect mussels and other shellfish and worms to use as fishing bait. 25:28 First: This isn't a "Road You Would Never Want to Drive on", second: that's not 30 km per hour, that's 5 km per hour at the most, third: hopefully nobody uses the toilet in the train, when it is passing over the food sections. 28:46 also does not belong on a list of "Roads You Would Never Want to Drive on". You'd better shown the "Colle di Sampeyre" and the "Colle delle Finestre", both in Northern Italy, just to name a few.
Those are NOT roads by any means. In my book are closer to 'Crimes Against Humanity' 🥶. BTW: Quite interesting to witness several Mahindra turbo diesel trucks / 4x4's in Nepal, India, Himalayas. Surviving vestigial trails in dreaded Monsoon seasons. Sooo underrated + 'forbidden' in America 'thanks' to Stellantis (Jeep) Group.
You know that there are multiple floating bridges in Washington State, right? Including one on a tidal water, Hood Canal. Not as pretty as the Chinese one, but much more impressive since they carry highway traffic.
Back in the old days Apache Trail used by the Apache Indians from Apache Junction, AZ to Hoover Dam was a dangerous one to drive. Lots off people died on this road. Not so dangerous now that much of the road has been paved and guard rails installed.
I disagree. IT IS WAY PAST TIME AMERICANS ADOPTED METRIC UNITS!!!!! I am a natural born US citizen living in Texas. Inches, feet, and miles are like old predecimal British money. It is a real disgrace that Americans are not taught metric units.
John, we were taught the metric system in the early 70’s. They told us that the whole world would be completely on the metric system by the time we were out of school. I graduated in 1980… still using standard units of measurement!
@JoeMama-y6t There is NOTHING standard about the antiquated horse-and-buggy US customary or imperial units. There are only three nations that don't use metric units on a daily basis: USA, Myanmar, and Liberia. The rest of the world understands and uses metric units. I know US customary units thoroughly, such as how many cubic inches there are to a US liquid gallon, or how many chains to a mile, etc, so I see how messed up they are.
I've driven across Vietnam on a scooter it's actually really fun and not bad at all. It's super crowded but people are really friendly and even In Ho chi min city you can be relatively safe.
Yeah. Also some of the roads shown in the video (eg. the one in the Italian alps or the one in Norway) aren't really all that dangerous if you drive carefully and don't speed. But fear of height is very common, and for people that have it it seems hard to grasp that other people simply don't experience the same fear that they do. It's interesting to watch how people behave around glass floors with a deep drop below. Some people avoid stepping onto them at all costs, some are clearly hesitant and have to overcome some fear, but some just step onto the glass like onto any other floor.
Real trill seeking is about doing wild stuff to get the adrenaline pumping and testing yourself, not about pretending to be a tough guy, if you need to tell others what you believe you are a Alfa or whatever kids use to claim that they are tough guys you are definitely not a Alfa, if you are that you don’t have to inform everyone around you they will know almost all of them instinctively, and I suspect you don’t have it 😊
I probably wouldn't drive on the Gokteik viaduct. Or the Pamban bridge or the Ribblehead viaduct or even over the Sun Arch seeing as they're you know , RAILWAY BRIDGES
Wow! This video took me on an emotional rollercoaster. From the heartwarming rescue of a stranded whale to the powerful storm footage, it’s all so captivating and inspiring. A true celebration of life and nature!
I reckon at least three of those have featured in James Bond films (Norway bridge, Stelvio pass & Florida Keys bridge). Anyone spot any more Bond locations? Or other movies?
According to the stories of my grandparents, this is how they had to walk to school every morning, but it was in the middle of winter and Germans were firing laser beams at them.
Annoying clickbait title picture that doesn't appear in the video.
Thank you!
Probably because it's photoshopped.
Not far from the roads in the videos lol
LOL. Someone deleted my original comment twice about custom AI generated image/thumbnail.
thanks for saving me a few minutes 😂
i'm never gonna complain about little potholes in our roads anymore
🤣
y not u pay taxes
I've been on those kind of roads in Ecuador and Bolivia. The bus drivers are incredible. We once met D8 tractor coming uo the one-lane, winding cliffhanger road. The bus driver backed up a quarter mile to a wide spot using his rear view mirrors.
Everyone knows that when you get stuck in a huge traffic jam laying on your horn magically helps. What's wrong with people...
especially here 8:20 lmfao

It signals to those in front to hurry up..
@@jimadams8182I doubt it. Have you ever been to NYC? No one can move in the traffic but so many people honking their horn. It’s hilarious!
Decades ago I was a passenger in a car that drove to the top of Mt Washington in New Hampshire. I vowed then I'd never go on that auto road again. I couldn't imagine going on most of these roads 😱
Why I drove it in 2007. Coming down was a bit nerve-wracking though. Just pay attention.
Thanks for this video. It's given me warning for roads I will not travel and places I do not wish to go.
I traveled this road in 1994, it was the scariest thing I've ever done ,there were buses 1000ft down totally destroyed from when they went over the cliff. I'm glad I made it out alive.
What road, hmm?
😮
where was that
@sunnygunz it's the road to Coroico from La Paz Bolivia. So many roads are so scary there, but this is the scariest one I traveled .
great
I am freaking out in my chair watching this, butterflies in my guts.
Calm down, you'll be ok.
@@Richard-f7q ah finally somebody with some good advice.
This is already making me sick and dizzy. There’s no way I would do none of this
That means you would definitely do some of it. Not a grammar policeman, but just sayin' 🧐
Yes you would
Your life must be boring. Where's your sense of adventure? I wouldn't do some of these roads, but plenty I would!
My feet are wobbly I can't finish watching the video I even cought myself leaning omg
Sometimes when you look for excitement and adventure you get more than you bargained for.
In Utah, there's also a road carved in the snow. It's in the high Uinta Moutains and leads to Mirror Lake. It only passable during a few months of the year because of the deep snow.
Just when you thought that you were able to get to civilizations edge with your fully built 4x4, someone pulls up in a KIA.
But they never make it back.
Scary roads thank you for this video, i love your channel again thank you mate.👍🏼👍🏼
You ever get that feeling looking down from the edge of something tall? Yeah that was me most this video, gotta ball check now! LOL great vid

*Roads l’d never want to drive on…
Actually, these are roads I’d never want to even walk on.😊
That cross on the left at .53-4 is where someone went over the edge and lost their life. I wouldn't bike on that road, ever!
A fifty lane road that suddenly narrows to 10 lanes, that's really well thought out, 🤯
That's not a fifty lane road! That's a toll plaza!
Thanks to this video I wont be stupid enough to travel on any of these roads.
2:47 That's actually an old railroad bridge.
The number of people who die on the North Yungas Road in Bolivia, also known as "Death Road", is estimated to be between 200 and 300 each year.
very nice compilation
Incredible precision on that hook release at [14:06]! You timed it perfectly - that’s how it’s done!

@xxdizannyxx ok but some of these videos make me wonder
😂😂😂
07:50 "Extending 23 metres into the sea..."? What the hell does that mean?
i'd assume the depth
It bends outward horizontally - 23 metres maximum - unlike most bridges that go point to point in a straight line.
Honestly, your channel is very interesting.
That is simply amazing, terrifying, but amazing 😉
We used to have an abandon railroad Tressel in r neighborhood when I was a kid. Before it was removed, we drove our dirtbikes over it. The trick with blasting over huge missing gaps is to go full speed.
In Colombia in the 70's, it seemed like there was another fatal high mountain bus accident on the front page of the newspaper nearly every week.
Amazing Video!!!
Thanks
3:20 was anybody in that truck?
I think yes, let's pray he's okay
@@Daredevil_Driver Ahhhhh yes ofc he's ok he just survived with a few scratches.
There was no one in the car, everyone had left the area, it was just an empty car, we didn't need to pray for anyone.

As someone who can't handle heights, this is crazy. My husband took pictures of roads like that in the mountains of Haiti.

I wish you showed the snow plow or whatever they used in Japan to carve out that road with 18 meters of snow on each side. 😮 (10.00).
You're right. I wouldn't drive on most of these roads, but I might take my jeep there.
What's an "abandoned lead time"? 22:40
supposed to say...
a Lead Mine
not lead time
typical artificial intelligence
8:23 50 LANED HIGHWAY??? 😳

You missed the "Apple Cross Pass" in Scotland. Check it out.
I used to mountain bike guide that road in Bolivia... I really miss the landscape, the people and coca leaves
it would be an experience. for sure. apart from the snow and ice. . id love to drive most of these roads. wow
Where is click bait road?
AI garbage, no such road
7:25 is not a highway, not named highway either. Also it doesn't really fit into a video on " Roads You Would Never Want to Drive on "
18:28 'for safety the speed limit is 20kph' - proceeds to show car going 60kph
I know, no kidding 🤣
Many, if not all roads have a speed limit, but almost no one sticks to that
@Guillaume2606 this is a slightly different road to normal lol
I was going to say the same thing, they were also barreling towards those pedestrians
21:47 Where is this road?
id love to know also
@@deanblenkinship1614 looks Kyrg or Kazakh. I am only guessing though. May even be Mongolia.
Some of these roads should require a parachute. Reminds me of Engineers pass in Colorado.
Looks like the crocks are waiting for pedestrians.
*good compilation. I prefer driving on I-10 (west coast)*
Excellent.
20:05 Holy sh!t, they built that in only 5 years!?!?
Those folks on bicycles are studs for doing that. That is way too scary for me.

Great viewing ,I thought my commute into London was bad but I,ll say no more .

People live such difficult lives. Imagine having to negotiate these treacherous roads on a regular basis - there is no other choice.
The higher you go up the mountain side road the less you can see the drop off the cliff.
Back in the old days Apache Trail used by the Apache Indians from Apache Junction, AZ to Hoover Dam was a dangerous one to drive. Lots off people died on this road. Not so dangerous now that much of the road has been paved and guard rails installed.
I want to drive on all of those roads... with the exception of the lava road! haha
Kenya, hah! Try Highway 12 in California on a foggy night or day!
Best be up on the metric system of measurement prior to listening to the audio.
I'll quit complaining about our local roads!😬
Why do these people keep multiplying in massively over populated areas of the world!?!?!?
Even if you pay me millions of dollars to drive in that Bolivia 🇧🇴 roads I won't take it , I would ve poor but happy, I can't even watch it

West Maui backside Wailuku!
50 lanes that narrow down to two, will only fix congestion until it’s no longer 50 lanes. I’m not an engineer, but I was able to figure that one out.
I probably wouldn't drive on the Gokteik viaduct. Or the Pamban bridge or the Ribblehead viaduct or even over the Sun Arch seeing as they're you know , RAILWAY BRIDGES
Wow! This video took me on an emotional rollercoaster. From the heartwarming rescue of a stranded whale to the powerful storm footage, it’s all so captivating and inspiring. A true celebration of life and nature!

Some of these bridges look😊 like termites holding hands😅😅
I wonder what all those crosses are for next to a 3K foot drop? :)
Interesting, but you never see the clickbait road in the thumbnail for the video.
I was on a bus on the road like the one in Bolivia that one was in Yunnan China. It was freaking crazy and scary as hell.
never imagined Sikkim's roads would make the list. I drive there everyday, dosent seem too bad to me
Im a driver for over 30 yrs but those mountain roads in Pakistan and nepal scare the living daylights out of me no way would i attempt those roads
8:46 They werent stuck there for "hours" thats for sure. Thats a whole family weekend program.
Thanks for your efforts and yes, now I have seen it all!
Thanks!
I wouldn’t even want to walk on the road. No way I would drive on it.
According to the stories of my grandparents, this is how they had to walk to school every morning, but it was in the middle of winter and Germans were firing laser beams at them.
Where's the road up to the peak of Mount Evans in Colorado? That is a road I'll never travel again.
notice how on each and every one of these a Mitsubishi Delica/L300 manages to do it
Went to Hawaii for the first time in 2018 and wanted to visit the big island, unfortunately never did. :(
