The road is not dangerous for riding or driving but rampant terrorist activities make this path a dangerous death trap.

Also. this road has got popularity because of the artistically done engineering.

5. Skippers Canyon

This road is pretty much graveled and has no guard rails and safety measures. One interesting fact about this road is that if two vehicles are coming face to face then one might have to take a reverse of few kilometers to clear the way. The road also has a river flowing few hundred feets down the valley. It is a pure treat for photographers and adventure lovers.

6. Halsema Highway



Situated in Northern Luzon, it is the National Highway of Philippines and is located 7,400 ft. above sea level. Also, this highway is the highest altitude road in the Philippines. Having a spiral shape, the road is less risky in summers, but the rest of the year heavy rainfalls and fog leads to worst accidents. The road gets damaged and half of it falls from the mountain resulting in blocking the traffic.

7. Eyre Highway



This one is the most awesome roads to ride on as the road is long and stretched. The 1675 long straight highway is in Australia and it does not look dangerous in the picture, but don’t get fooled, the road goes through the most remote parts of Australia. The road is so featureless that while riding or driving, people don’t stay awake and collide in Kangaroos passing by. Also, the road is the second home for criminals, so being aware of the fact is the only thing that can let you cross this route safely.
