The world's most dangerous road

I thought the most dangerous roads are in Iran where more than 20 thousands die each year because road un-safety. But this one, in Bolivia, has seized the title of the world's most dangerous road and looks like it should be named "Death Road".

YIKES!

I've been on a similar road (maybe a foot or 2 wider) here in the US, but it didn't have truck traffic, just a few motor homes.

OMG! Reminds me of home (in the country). We had dirt roads higher up on the mountains. One time I was in an accident, but I don't remember it. We ran into a boulder, because there was too much dirt covering the windshield. No, I was not driving! LOL.

Impressive and scary. It would be fun to drive in a Land Rover, with no other traffic, but otherwise - yikes!

I thought the 12-mile or so run the Green Zone in Baghdad to the international airport was supposed to be the world's most dangerous road - maybe things have improved lately.
