ArabiaWeather.com – In this topic, we will review with you the 10 most dangerous roads used by people around the world, which result in the largest number of accidents and injuries, and it would be preferable if they were closed: 10) Nürburgring, Germany 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. <img alt="" src="/contents/sites/default/files/editor/images/nurburgring-crash-bmw-ring-taxi-hits-rented-corvette-eight-cars-involved-39230_1.jpg" style="height:307px; width:600px" /> 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. <img alt="" src="/contents/sites/default/files/editor/images/kabul jalal abad.JPG" style="height:800px; width:600px" /> 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. <img alt="" src="/contents/sites/default/files/editor/images/roads-skippers-can_2002969i.jpg" style="height:901px; width:600px" /> 7) Route A 537 in the UK is a dangerous street used by adventurous cyclists, and fatal accidents have skyrocketed since 2000. <img alt="" src="/contents/sites/default/files/editor/images/p00w4g8f.jpg" style="height:338px; width:600px" /> 6) Sichuan-Tibet Road in China A very dangerous mountain road, punctuated by a lack of oxygen and dangerous mountain slides, and the Chinese army works 24 hours a day to keep it clear to traffic. <img alt="" src="/contents/sites/default/files/editor/images/sichuan_tibet_road_6.jpg" style="height:399px; width:600px" /> 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. <img alt="" src="/contents/sites/default/files/editor/images/kalyma.jpg" style="height:450px; width:600px" /> 4) Luxor-Hurghada Road in the Arab Republic of Egypt Drivers do not use lights at night, which causes fatal accidents. The reason for not using the lights is that armed gangs attack anyone who turns on his vehicle lights. For example, 62 tourists were killed in 1997. <img alt="" src="/contents/sites/default/files/editor/images/luxor road.jpg" style="height:364px; width:600px" /> 3) Cotobachi volcano road in Ecuador It is a bumpy dirt road that connects vehicles to the highest active volcano in Ecuador, and its danger lies during heavy rains, as the road crosses within a river that turns into a torrential torrent when it rains. <img alt="" src="/contents/sites/default/files/editor/images/2378086284_2d4c874b23_z.jpg" style="height:400px; width:600px" /> 2) Death Hill Road in Costa Rica A very bumpy road frequented by flood waters and torrential rains, at a height of 4000 meters above sea level, which causes a feeling of sickness and the inability to make right decisions while driving. <img alt="" src="/contents/sites/default/files/editor/images/death hill.jpg" style="height:360px; width:600px" /> 1) Death Road in Bolivia A very narrow mountain road with a length of 61 kilometers, with two lanes, which kills more than 250 people annually. <img alt="" src="/contents/sites/default/files/editor/images/road-of-death-bolivia.jpg" style="height:399px; width:600px" /><img alt="" src="/contents/sites/default/files/editor/images/4354bolivia2.jpg" style="height:831px; width:600px" /> <a href="http://bit.ly/1aFbXlH">Pictures: 10 facts you do not know about the Earth and the solar system</a> <a href="http://bit.ly/13n3fH0">Watch the video: Two-headed turtle giving birth in a zoo</a> <a href="http://bit.ly/14NfQyJ">An amazing video that only uses light and frozen breath!</a>
