I’m surprised there was nothing on that link that mentioned “The most dangerous road in the world” which is in Bolivia. I grew up there and my family and I used to go on that road a few times a year. There are so many landslides and accidents, that the IADB named the road “the most dangerous in the world”. The road is only wide enough for one car to fit at a time, and if there is a spot where 2 cars fit, the drivers have to switch positions so the driver closer to the cliff can see how far he/she is from the edge, and the other driver can see how close he/she is from the mountain.
Although the more-traveled road from La Paz to Coroico was the one given the name, the road from La Paz to Chulumani is just as bad as the other one.
Here is more information and another article that DRB wrote about the road a few years back:

Hi Chris, just click on the link within the sentence (or the new link at the end) and you’ll de redirected to DRB article. They did all the hard work so we don’t reprint all the images here. We just like to share good articles we find with our readers.

am I missing something? I see only one pic and no link except this:
“In any case, there are numerous examples of dangerous roads around the world;”
which doesn’t seem new
