Imagine a world without roads, how tragic it must be. There would be no cars or road trips, so
we have a lot to thank the Romans for. Even though humans have progressed a lot and built
roads even on the oceans, not all of them are equally safe. In fact, some are so dangerous that
you would be risking your life just by making the trip. Here, we have 10 world’s most dangerous
roads that actually exist. Watch out for number 1 as it really is something

Number 10. Sichuan-Tibet Highway

With an average elevation of 4,000 meters, the Sichuan-Tibet Highway has all the makings of
the world’s craziest road. Landslides and rock avalanches are commonplace across the 1,330-
mile route that starts in Chengdu, Sichuan, and ends in Lhasa, Tibet. A trip along the length of
the highway can take up to 15 days. There are a total of 14 mountains, dozens of rivers, and
forests along this majestic path. In 2011 a bus was reported to have veered off the highway,
leading to the tragic deaths of 16 passengers. This stretch of road has a record of 7,500 deaths per
100,000 riders. That is an unbelievable mortality rate just for one road! This high death toll is a
result of the frequent numbers of rock slides, as well as other weather-related hazards that most
drivers need to be really careful of. Once stuck there, you can be stuck for weeks, so better pack
up all your board games!

Number 9. Commonwealth Avenue

When you think about the most dangerous roads in the world you might think about the
dangerous high altitude passes in Himalayas or roads in extreme weather areas like Alaska or
Siberia. But you would be surprised to know that the most dangerous road in the world is located
in the heart of a busy metro, Quezon City, Philippine. The commonwealth avenue is often called
the “Killer Highway” due to the number of fatal accidents involving drivers, cyclists, and
pedestrians. Traffic rules and road safety regulations are almost non-existent. The road is 8 miles
long and has 18 lanes, it is the widest road in Philippine. Although the speed limit of the road is
just 35 mph, the congestion and chaotic driving are responsible for 3 to 5 accidents every day!
According to recent research figures, almost 7,000 people die annually, most of them are
pedestrians, cyclists, and bystanders. The road has no signs to guide the traffic neither are there
any designated lanes for motorcycle/bicycle lanes. Major risks on the road include an extremely
high volume of traffic, terrible drainage, and reckless driving. It really is the killer highway. If
you can drive here, you can drive anywhere in the world

Number 8. James Dalton Highway

The James Dalton Highway is one of the most isolated roads in the world. If you can drive this
road you can pretty much drive anything. Drivers on the Dalton Highway are advised to bring
their safety gear. The road has been featured on many tv shows like American Jobs, Ice road
truckers, and the world’s most dangerous roads. There are no medical facilities along the 414-
mile road and no gas stations, restaurants, or hotels for a 240-mile stretch. Much of the road is
unpaved and made of gravel, making it difficult for drivers even in good weather conditions. In
the winter, the road becomes so slippery and icy that even ice road truckers refuse to cross it. The
surrounding tundra is also prone to avalanches. The highway runs parallel to the Trans-Alaska
Pipeline System and despite its bleak, isolated, and remote setting, it is often navigated by

anything up to 150 trucks in summer and 250 trucks in the winter. Few roads in the world offer
the degree of isolation as the James Dalton Highway. If you think this is scary, watch out for the
number 1 as it will make your jaw drop!

Number 7. Guoliang Tunnel, China

You probably aren’t ready for this terrifying road. China's Guoliang Tunnel is carved into the
side of a steep mountain. It almost feels like a mountain swallowing you. The Guoliang Tunnel
credits its existence to thirteen villagers who cut the 4,000-footpath into China's Taihang
Mountains in the 1970s. The tunnel links the village of Guoliang to the outside through the
Taihang Mountains which are situated in Huixian, Xinxiang, Henan Province of China. It is one
of the most famous roads in the world even though It is just 0.75 miles or 1.2kms long. Though
the area has become popular among tourists, the tunnel still lacks barriers and street lamps
making it a dangerous and terrifying path so drivers must enter at their own risk. Locals now
refer to it as "the road that does not tolerate mistakes." Are you willing to drive
