One would think that if Brazil knows of 200 locations down a single road where children are being sold into sex trafficking that they would do anything to stop it. This is absolutely unbelievable and disgusting.

I'm from Brazil, and I live in Curitiba. Actually, my house is about 100m from BR-116. I use to travel on this road at least once a month, 40 days, for work. I can tell you that I had more than a couple of close call there...

If you want a North American entrant you only have to look at Bella Coola, BC. "The descent includes a 9 km (5.6 mi) section with grades of up to 18% (about 1 in 6). At this gradient, it’s said to be the steepest road in British Columbia. During steep sections, it’s best to put your vehicle in first gear and go slow. Remember, uphill traffic has the right-of-way. Some sections are single-lane. Tourists who have driven to Bella Coola from Williams Lake have been known to refuse to drive back and have had to be taken out by boat or floatplane." It was built by local residents without knowledge or assistance of the government and, at one time, there was a section that moderate to large trucks could not turn tight enough and BACKED up between some of the worst hair pin corners. I have heard it is better today but I am still not motivated enough to redrive it. PS It snows there, and ALOT.

British guy talking about the Death Road and no Top Gear reference ??

Truly, it is the Golden Age of b-roll. This is not a complaint.

6:22 The Highway and Old Summer Road feature in Long Way Round starring Ewan McGregor and Charlie Boorman. Great show!

I was on an internship in Oaxaca, Mexico in 2012 and me and some friends took a van ride to Puerto Escondido. Idk what road they van driver took, but it was through mountains and was one of the most terrifying experiences of my life.

I am one of those tourists that took the North Yungas Road as a tourist attraction in 2018. At that time, it only allowed vehicles from La Paz to the Yungas, not the other way, so no more dangerous crossings. Except for the mountain bikers, they were crazy. And there were armed men with a toll booth halfway that asked for money to pass, but didn't look too official.

Try the roads in the Himalayan region of Nepal. None of the roads mentioned here hold a candle to the roads here!

[JGG]

Why are your glasses melting? Love the videos! 😊

[POLARTTYRTM]

Of course a brazilian road is in the list... smh. People do crazy stuff to avoid 116 and 101 because of criminal activity. It's not just super numerous, but also deadly.

[longlivroc]

Surprised there are no entries from Canada on this list; would've expected at least an honourable mention for the Coquihalla Pass which sees about 400-500 collisions every winter, or Montreal's Highway 20, where falling chunks of debris from the decaying overpasses the mafia built during the 60s-90s take out commuters all the time...

[rogaineablar]

Why are all of your channels allergic to maps? Would it kill you to show us where these roads are?

[unholysporkable]

The closest road we have to that is the road from Mariposa to Coulterville that goes thru Bagby. It is a knuckle biter, MOST especially when it snows.

[mringasa]

Lol. That 99 Bends looks like fun. Drive those types of roads for 12 hours a day working with oil/gas in West Virginia, Ohio, and Pennsylvania. Once you get over the fear of falling over the edge, they are actually extremely relaxing, almost Zen-like. The only real issues stem from other drivers who can't stay on their side of the road or who think that 2x the legal speed limit is a good place to start.
