This circuit was previously within the track of the World Grand Prix Championship, but it has now been opened to the general public. Dozens of people die in this street every year.
9) Kabul-Jalalabad Road in Afghanistan
Dozens of accidents occur on this street, which is more than 60 kilometers long, every day, and the street contains many dangers, such as slopes of more than 600 meters in height, and very dangerous turns, and there are dozens of wrecked vehicles on the outskirts of the street.
8) Skippers Road in New Zealand
This street is so dangerous that it needs a special permit to cross it, and it is characterized by the occurrence of dangerous landslides that may drop the driver in the adjacent rivers or valleys.

5) Bone Street in Russia:
More than two million people died during the process of building this street due to the harsh climatic conditions in the area in which it was built, and due to its lack of use, drivers walk together in the form of pairs of cars, otherwise death is one of the options.
4) Luxor-Hurghada Road in the Arab Republic of Egypt
