The 12 most frightening roads in the world

By Melia Robinson

Some road trips are not for the faint of heart.

We scoured the internet for the most frightening roads around the world, featuring hairpin turns, crashing waves, and bandits hidden just around the bend.

From Brazil’s Death Road to Russia’s Road of Bones, these 12 thruways will have you gripping your seatbelt for dear life.

Alaska’s nightmarish Dalton Highway stretches some 400 miles through remote forests, tundras, and over the Yukon River. It concludes at the Arctic Ocean.

The mostly gravel road, constructed as a service road for the Trans-Alaska Pipeline, contains signs warning of steep grades and avalanches. No thanks.
