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.

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.

7) Route A 537 in the UK is a dangerous street used by adventurous cyclists, and fatal accidents have skyrocketed since 2000.

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.

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
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.

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.

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.

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.
