The most dangerous roads in the world. Alaska - Dalton Highway. Dangerous mountain roads

Roads that attract and scare at the same time!

Roads solve infrastructure problems, connect people and fascinate with their diversity. But there are roads in the world that have gained sinister fame due to the high level of danger. We have collected 15 of the most dangerous roads in the world that are best avoided.

1. Trans-Siberian Railway, Russia

The Trans-Siberian Railway is one of the most long roads in the world along with the Trans Canada Highway and Australian Highway No. 1.

8. Road to Fairy Valley, Pakistan

Despite the name, the road has nothing to do with fairies. This is actually a very narrow and dangerous 10 km stretch of road that leads to the mountain killer Nanga Parbat in Pakistan. Fairy Valley is located at the foot of a huge mountain.

9. Road through Captains Canyon, New Zealand

To drive on the narrow and winding road through New Zealand's Captains Canyon, you need a special driving permit. When permission is received, it remains to pray that the road is not too slippery, and that no one is driving towards.

10 Pasubio Road, Italy

Pasubio's Droga northern Italy famous for its stunning views. However, traffic on this road can become a problem, so it is even periodically closed to the train. Unfortunately, this does not stop people from riding their bikes on the edge of the abyss.

Known as one of the most dangerous roads in Taiwan, the Taroko Gorge Road is full of blind turns, sudden sharp changes in direction, and narrow paths that lead through rocks and mountains.

12. Road from Gulyan, China

Although it is very hard to believe, a road in China was carved into a mountainside by several residents from the city of Gulian. Before there was a road, the village was cut off from the rest of civilization by rocks.

13. Himalayan roads

This phrase has already become a household word in relation to any road leading to the Himalayas. All these roads are dirt, narrow and slippery, and are also littered with wrecked cars and overturned buses.

14. James Dalton Highway, Alaska

The James Dalton Highway in Alaska passes through an icy wasteland and is very often "bombarded" with stones.

15. North Yungas Road, Bolivia

The North Yungas Road is often mentioned in reports about car accidents. Falling buses, trucks and cars when they try to overtake each other is the most common occurrence here.

What Russian doesn't like to drive fast? The one that will be on one of these tracks. Tight turns, sheer cliffs and potholes: these roads are a real test of skill and courage for the driver. The people living in these areas depend on transport communication, but each of these trips may be the last.

Sichuan-Tibet Highway, China

The Sichuan-Tibet Highway runs between Chengdu and Tibet. This is a high-altitude road, in the area of ​​\u200b\u200bwhich landslides and landslides regularly occur. In total, more than 7,500 people died in Sichuan-Tibet. Due to the risk of rockfalls and avalanches, drivers are forced to take extra care.

Stelvio Pass, Italy

The Stelvio Pass is located in Italy at an altitude of 2757 meters - it is the highest paved Mountain pass in the Eastern Alps. From afar, the Stelvio, serpentine, looks like a child's scribble. But once on the road, it is better not to look down: a slight speeding or a bad turn can lead to disaster.

Los Caracoles Pass, Chile

This road runs in the Andes between Chile and Argentina. Steep slopes, sharp turns, coupled with a lack of fences and fenders make Los Caracoles especially dangerous. The situation is complicated by the snow cover, which does not melt almost all year round. and sharp turns without any extreme conditions, great skill is needed. However, the road is well maintained, which greatly reduces the number of accidents: trucks and even double-deck tourist buses ride it every day.

Skippers Canyon Road, New Zealand

Skippers Canyon Road is incredibly narrow, and therefore scary road. You will need a special permit to drive on it. If you manage to get it, be extremely careful: there is a chance of colliding with a driver driving towards you.

Zoji Pass, India

Zoji La is a mountain pass in India at an altitude of about 3,528 meters, located on Highway 1D between Srinagar and Leh. In winter, the pass is often closed: road services are not always able to clear it of snow. Zoji-La is an important link in the communication between Kashmir and Ladakh: thanks to him, the inhabitants of the latter can stay in touch with the rest of the world.

Guoliang Tunnel, China

Carved into the sheer cliffs, the Guoliang Tunnel in the mountains of Henan province can at first not even be seen in the photo. Before it was built, the mountain village was practically cut off from the rest of the world. There is not a lot of traffic here, but due to its design, the tunnel is quite dangerous.

Karakoram Highway, Pakistan

It is the highest international highway in the world. The government that built it called the road the "highway of friendship." It crosses the Karakorum mountain range and connects China and Pakistan through the Khunjerab Pass at an altitude of 4693 m. winter time due to the danger of avalanches, traffic along the Karakorum highway is closed. But the road still arouses interest among tourists, because it was laid along the route of the ancient Silk Road.

James Dalton Highway, Alaska

The 667-kilometer James Dalton Highway starts at Elliot Highway, 134 kilometers from Fairbanks, and ends at Deadhorse, near the North Coast. Arctic Ocean. At first it looks quite serene, but in reality there are a lot of potholes and slippery gravel on the road. The worst thing is that the track is located in the middle of nowhere, and it will take a long time to get help in case of an accident.

Jalalabad-Kabul road, Afghanistan

Many roads are labeled "most dangerous," but the 65-kilometer section of the highway from Jalalabad to Kabul, passing through Taliban territory, has every reason to be considered as such. And not at all because of the threat of rebellion, but because of the narrow winding crossings at an altitude of up to 600 meters. Reckless Afghan drivers often try to overtake large tractors.

North Yungas Road, Bolivia

This "road of death", as it is called, has been given the status of the most dangerous road in the world. It is estimated that between 200 and 300 people die here every year. The road is single-lane and narrow, and instead of barriers along the route, there are numerous crosses: these are the places of car accidents, which buses and trucks often get into, especially if they try to overtake each other.

People living in Russia can be scared different things but not by roads. Almost any foreign curiosity from the above list will find an analogue in their native country, and even, perhaps, not just one, but directly dozens! But still, let's see what the rest of the inhabitants of the planet are afraid of and what roads have earned them the glory of the most dangerous and terrifying.

1. Mountain Road of Death

The old highway from the capital of Bolivia, La Paz, to the city of Coroico - northern Las Yungas - has a second, more commonly used name: El Camino de la Muerte, that is, the Road of Death. These 64 km of asphalt, which lead down the edge of the Altiplano from a height of 4650 meters to a height of 1200 meters, were built in the 1930s during the war by Paraguayan prisoners of war.

Movement on the Road of Death (unlike other Bolivian roads) is allowed in both directions, but the roadway here is no wider than 3 meters and does not have a safety fence.

The monstrous elevation difference between the upper and lower points of the Death Road is the reason that travelers descending it go from high mountain coolness to tropical heat. Because of this, rains, fogs, landslides and landslides are so frequent on a short stretch of the road. In some places, waterfalls run from the mountain right onto the asphalt.

As a result, any awkwardness or mistake of the driver can lead to a fall into an abyss 600 meters deep.

Everywhere on the road are seen commemorative signs and markers indicating the places of the accident, the fall of cars and the death of people. Every year, the Death Road claimed dozens of lives. On July 24, 1983, a bus fell off it, killing more than a hundred people.

Finally, in the late 90s, the Bolivian authorities built an alternate road, new and safer. But the Road of Death was not closed: it became a tourist attraction. Guides carry foreigners along it and organize extreme bicycle tours.

2. Death Railway

The 415 km long railway track (of which 13 km are bridges) between Bangkok (Thailand) and Rangoon (Burma) is also called the Death Road, but not because of the danger of traffic on it, but because its construction caused the death of several thousand people . Maybe a more accurate name would be Road of the Dead.

This is probably the only construction site in the world recognized by the court as a war crime.

In 1942, Imperial Japan invaded Burma from Thailand, retaking it from Britain. To supply the Japanese troops in the "Burmese Campaign" it was necessary to build a road.

When the British ruled Burma, they found it an impossible task: to cut almost five hundred kilometers through the rolling jungle with big amount rec.

However, the samurai grand design didn't bother. After all, they did not intend to build with their own hands. And they were not going to pay for the work. They used the labor of 180 thousand Asian convicts and 60 thousand prisoners of war - British, Australians, Dutch, Americans and other members of the anti-Hitler coalition. The working and maintenance conditions were such that about 90,000 Asian convicts and 16,000 prisoners of war died during construction. After the war, Hiroshi Abe, the warden of the POW camp, was found personally responsible for the deaths of 3,000 prisoners and sentenced to 15 years in prison.

The road was built in 1943, but as a result of hostilities, it fell into disrepair. However, 130 km of track was reconstructed after the war. There were even plans to completely restore the road.

In the meantime, riding along the Hell Passage route near the city of Kanchanaburi, northwest of the capital of Thailand, where the train goes around sheer cliffs and passes several wooden bridges is one of the most popular tourist attractions.

Whether there are ghosts there is unknown. Today, only the classic film The Bridge on the River Kwai and several museums and memorial cemeteries remind of the sad events on the Road of Death.

3. Glass path and "Paradise gates"

On Mount Tianmen, one of the highest peaks in China (1518.6 meters above sea level), in national park not far from the city of Zhangjiajie, an amazing tourist complex has been built, part of which is a unique glass path and the longest and tallest in the world cable car. Its spans reach 500 m, and the total length is 7455 m! The name of the road in Chinese sounds very romantic: "Gate to heaven." But in English, romance is already dubious: the name Heaven’s Gate, rather, betrays the cautious attitude of many travelers who happened to spend several creepy and exciting minutes in a cabin suspended in the middle of the clouds on a steel cable.

Here, many are shy. But if there are those who are not afraid of the height of the cable car, then the hanging glass path will strike fear into anyone. A hanging path leads along the mountain right along the edge of the abyss among bizarre relic trees. In some places, the floor of the hanging walkway is made of glass. You can see the clouds under your feet. And remember the fragility and frailty of earthly existence.

However, neither accidents nor catastrophes have yet happened on the mountain of the Heavenly Gates: all structures are very reliable.

4. Controversial road

The Karakorum Highway, although laid on the ground, in many of its sections is immersed in the clouds. This is the highest mountain track in the world that runs from the city of Abbottabad in Pakistan to chinese city Kashgar is considered one of the most dangerous roads on the planet.

The Karakorum highway repeats the Great Silk Road of antiquity. From above, beautiful, unique views open up there, but travelers face many dangers in the form of rains, landslides, storms, winds, snow drifts, blockages and altitude sickness. For 20 kilometers of the road, on average, there are only 30-40 meters of asphalt. But what is even more unpleasant is that this road runs between the regions of Jammu and Kashmir, that is, territories that have been the cause of fierce disputes between India and Pakistan for more than 60 years. Region border conflicts, where, in addition to the harsh nature, the power of force and weapons reigns - this is what the Karakoram Highway is. However, desperate cyclists and bikers love to travel on it.

5. Merciless Road

The name of this route carved into the rocks of Taihan Chinese province Golian - "The road that does not forgive mistakes."

Residents of the local village built it in 1997 to be able to get to " mainland from their sky-high heights.

The highway is a 1200 meter tunnel in a mountain 15 feet high and 12 feet wide. There are 30 windows, maybe so that the claustrophobic can calm their nerves by looking outside and admiring the spacious abyss below.

Really very beautiful. Local residents overcome the road, mainly on bicycles. But cars often flew off it into a cliff. After all, this is a road that does not forgive mistakes.

6. Road without insurance

In the second half of the 19th century, this road was built in New Zealand to give local miners access to the gold canyon. At the same time, for some reason the road is called the Road of Captains - Skippers Road.

Now, to move around it, drivers must obtain permission. But most insurance companies warn that they will not cover the losses of such risk-takers, in which case.

However, adventure tourists from the nearby city of Queenstown love day trips along this dangerous road. It's very beautiful there. And then, listen carefully: I passed the Road of the captains. Without insurance. Sounds proud!

7. Desert road

Luxor-Hurghada is a famous tourist route in Egypt, connecting recreation areas along the Red Sea coast with the ancient city of the pharaohs, Luxor. The highway is 280 km long with a good and even road surface, the journey along it takes only 4-5 hours.

And yet, many people died on this road. The thing is that they drive here mainly at night, avoiding the scorching heat of the desert during the day. When drivers rush along the highway with their headlights off, they often collide head-on without seeing each other in columns of dust.

Why don't they turn on the headlights? The fact is that driving on this road with the headlights on is even more dangerous. Terrorists, robbers, all kinds of robbers flock to this world like moths. The consequences are sad. In 1997, Islamist fanatics shot 62 German tourists here.

8. The longer - the more lethal

According to the Guinness Book of Records, the Pan American Highway is the longest highway in the world. It starts in Alaska North America, and ends at the most southern regions South America.

The section of the road passing through Costa Rica is the bloodiest section of this route.

A scenic route leads through rainforests, wild places almost untouched by civilization. Beautiful, but repairs are carried out here too rarely. So some sections of the Pan-American highway are simply washed away during the rainy season. And after floods, landslides can happen here at any time of the year.

So this road is full of surprises, but some of them are deadly.

9. Ice Road

The Canadian towns of Inuvik and Tuktoyak are located in the very north of Canada. They are so remote from the "mainland" that there are no roads, except for a winter road on the ice of the Mackenzie River, in these places.

Every winter, road services measure the thickness of the ice and allow or prohibit the opening of traffic. They also clean the road and save the unfortunate people caught in a snowstorm - storms in this region of Canada are insidious, they always come suddenly.

There is also a constant danger of running into a crack in the ice or falling into a snowdrift. Canadians and Americans consider the Tuktoyak Ice Road to be extreme. Of course, in Russia winter roads are a common thing, almost in every village they are used.

10. Animal Road

Canning Stock Route in Australia - indeed former route, along which the first white settlers drove herds.

This is one of the most remote roads in the world from civilization. Walking along it is very difficult, because it crosses 1850 km of absolutely deserted desert. To overcome this road, it will take at least a month of time, a technically flawless car, as well as spare parts and the ability to repair any breakdowns with your own hands, solid supplies of water, provisions and fuel. Although some can be bought from the natives, one or two communities still live in this wilderness.

But, of course, there is no certainty that they will find exactly what you need. Or that none of them will turn out to be a cannibal.

11. Troll Road

Norwegian mountain track construction began at the end of the 19th century, but was completed only in 1936.

This is the most fabulous road in the world, as it leads travelers along the mountain "Troll's Cap", through the places "Troll's Hut" and "Troll's Church".

There are 11 loops on the winding road, the width of the roadway does not exceed three meters. Cars drive along this road only in spring and summer. The rest of the year is too dangerous.

To overcome this difficult road, visiting tourists often hire drivers from among the locals: they, I suppose, understand all these wild trolls better.

12. Dodgy road

Once upon a time, this area was the border between Italy and Austria-Hungary. As they say, both yours and ours. Maybe that's why the road through the Prato Pass in the local mountains turned out to be so ... evasive.

A trip along it can be pretty nerve-wracking, especially if you drive into a cloud at the top, and get under freezing rain a little lower. It is not in vain that such a capricious road was called Stelvio Pass - "Queen of Zigzags".

You can drive on it by car from June to September. In winter it is a luge track. Again: both ours and yours, two in one. But at least in something there is now certainty: the road is recognized as the territory of Italy.

13. Road to nowhere

American Highway in New Mexico, near Albuquerque, locals called the road to nowhere. She leads to mountain range San Mateo and ends there. Tourists liked to ride on it to enjoy the views. However, since 2000, 17 people have disappeared without a trace on this road. And this is only confirmed official data.

There are no turns and branches on the road and, in theory, there is nowhere to get away from it. Nevertheless, the road seems to swallow careless drivers, and sometimes entire families. People seem to dissolve in the air. The state police and the tourism department recently acknowledged the existence of the mystery of this terrestrial bermuda triangle. Public servants, private enthusiasts, and all sorts of psychics tried to reveal the secret of the Road to Nowhere. And yet, so far, no one has succeeded.

In conclusion, I would like to remind you that in Russia everything is in abundance. And the terrible roads are just like dirt. True, they didn’t get glass ones - the climate does not allow.

You can single out the most dangerous railways, or you can find out which of the mountain roads are the most terrible and exciting. It is interesting to find out which Russian roads have earned the title of the most terrible.

dangerous railroads

One of the most dangerous is the railway of southern India, leading to the island of Rameswaram. Its line runs where the center of a dangerous hurricane is located. It is called "Chennai-Rameswaram Route". In Alaska, there is a railway route, which is laid in the immediate vicinity of rocks up to three thousand meters high. This is the White Pass Yukon Route. The train seems to "cling" to these rocks, passing a path of thirty-two kilometers.

The United Kingdom has railway line"Lynton & Lynmouth Cliff", the passage through which resembles roller coaster. It is to the northwest and runs over a five hundred foot cliff. The dangerous railway is considered to be the "Tren a las Nubes", located in Argentina, which connects La Polvorilla and Salta. It took twenty-seven years to build. The route passes through thirteen bridges, twenty-one tunnels, in addition, the road winds many times, resembling zigzags and spirals.

Since the 1880s, passengers have been afraid of traveling on the Cumbres Toltec Scenic Railroad, which is located in New Mexico. Balancing on old ways the train is coming along a narrow ledge and for almost three kilometers passes through the Cumbres Pass. Outeniqua Choo-Tjoe Train is located in South Africa. The route passes through the overhanging Indian Ocean Caymans bridge.

The Argo Gede Train Railroad located in Indonesia is recognized as one of the dangerous ones. The road connecting Jakarta and Bandung goes through the river valley, past the green mountain, and then crosses high bridge Chikurutug. In 2002, a train derailed in this place, there were no casualties. The Kuranda Scenic Railway, which runs through the Australian jungle, is considered dangerous. The route passes near waterfalls, and trains are often sprayed with spray.

Scary roads of Russia

Another terrible road is the one that connects Russia with Georgia. It is called the Georgian Military Highway. In addition to the fact that it is replete with dangerous turns, in winter the road is almost constantly blocked due to the danger of avalanches.

It is impossible not to recall the route between Naryan-Mar and Ukhta. Often it is tons of wet mud and sprawling clay, in which any car will get bogged down. And by car, you should not get into this hellish place. This happens every spring and summer. In fact, you can only use the track late autumn and in winter.

Dangerous mountain roads

The Mexican mountain pass was called the "Devil's Ridge". This is the pass to Durango. The journey along this road lasts about five hours.

The road called Van Zyl's Pass is located in Namibia. It passes through the gorge, mountains and badlands. Incredibly steep climbs are replaced by the same dangerous descents.

One of the most dangerous is the "Road of Death" in Bolivia. This winding and extremely dangerous road stretches for seventy kilometers. Every year about three hundred people die on it. There are many such dangerous mountain roads in the world and the list could be continued.

Worst railroad ever

Leaving Salta, the train goes through twenty-one tunnels, twenty-nine bridges, passes thirteen viaducts, makes two spirals and two zigzags. After four hundred and thirty-four kilometers of travel, the train is at an altitude of four thousand two hundred and twenty meters. It goes along a curved viaduct two hundred and twenty-four meters long, which is seventy meters above the ground. The train passes this place, slowing down.

The most dangerous road in the world

There are roads that have received the name of impassable, the same road represents real threat to anyone who decides to go through it. A section of the road with a length of seventy kilometers descends from a height of three thousand six hundred meters to a height of three hundred meters. The emergency situation is also facilitated by the fact that the road surface is slippery and dirty, there are often fogs and landslides. Two cars can barely fit on the road. On average, once every two weeks, someone dies trying to drive this section.

There are rumors that there is an even more terrible and dangerous road. She is located in Bangladesh.

Huge sums of money are invested in some roads. Including making them safe. According to the site, it is planned to spend 578 million dollars per kilometer on the construction of the fourth transport ring in Moscow. And this is not the limit. More about the most expensive roads in the world is possible.

An article about the 10 most dangerous roads in Russia. Characteristics of hazardous federal highways countries. At the end of the article - interesting video about dangerous roads of the north of Russia.

The content of the article:

Research Russian roads held annually by various organizations. All-Russian People's Front, Rosavtodor, community centers road safety organizations collect data on the total number of accidents, including fatalities, the level of crime on the roads of Russia and other important information to determine the sad leaders among the routes dangerous for motorists.

On the basis of the conducted studies, it was revealed that more than 6 thousand people die every year on almost a hundred existing routes. Having carried out elementary calculations with the length of the routes and the number of victims of road accidents, depressing statistics were obtained: for every 100 km there are 12 dead people, that is, every 8 km they claim 1 life.

In 2015, the Ural, Volga and Caucasus highways were recognized as anti-leaders among the roads, and the Moscow Region and the Krasnodar Territory took the first places among federal roads.

Rosavtodor calls the main causes of accidents driving into the oncoming lane, speeding and lack of driving culture. The first reason is easy to eliminate by installing flow dividers, which currently have only 40% of all federal highways.

Despite the fact that the tasks of the target federal program are not being solved, the state annually reduces the amount of budget funds allocated for it. So, in 2015, it decreased by 600 million rubles.

Anti-rating of federal highways

1. A 146 Krasnodar-Verkhnebakansky

The road originates in the capital of the Kuban and deepens into Novorossiysk, passing mostly along the plain, only after Krymsk meeting with low-mountain relief and the Wolf Gate Pass.

The asphalt highway is 8-18 meters wide for 2-4 traffic lanes, respectively, in some places dividing barriers are installed. However, this did not stop the road from becoming the anti-leader of our rating with 5 victims for every 10 km.

2. R 217 Caucasus

Quite recently, there was a big problem on the section of the highway near the village of Korkmaskala, which, for all its danger, did not have a sufficient level of illumination and even a traffic light at the intersection. Only after a prosecutor's check and a corresponding order, the road services brought the highway into proper condition.

3. A 155 Cherkessk-Dombay

The danger of the route lies in the fact that it passes through forest and mountainous areas, which can not always be overcome in bad weather conditions. Although mountain slopes are reinforced and have a protective net, it is not recommended to go to these sections of the route in winter and late autumn.

The most difficult section of the road is considered to be the section between Karachaevsk and Teberda, characterized by a strong narrowing of the road and a large number of sharp turns.

4. A 290 Novorossiysk-Kerch

The section of the road on the approach to the Kavkaz port was in a very deplorable state, where there were many minor and major damages, as well as problems with drainage.

5. A 104 Moscow-Dmitrov-Dubna

6. M10 Russia

As part of the program to ensure traffic the track was equipped with 30,000 reflective elements, and a 42-kilometer cable barrier structure was installed. Its purpose is to separate the flows of oncoming traffic. In just 10 months of operation, the number of accidents at the upgraded site decreased by 20%.

7. A 240 Bryansk-Novozybkov

During a statistical study of dangerous roads in Russia, it was revealed that out of 74 million rubles allocated for ensuring safe traffic, almost half was spent on equipment for fixing violations, more than 20 million - on updating thermoplastic road markings, 3 million - on the purchase and the installation of road signs, a total of 1 million - for the wire fence described above. There were not enough funds for traffic lights, pedestrian barriers, or accident prevention.

In 2015, a major overhaul of a 13-kilometer section of the route was carried out along the latest technologies. Thus, the laid coating is mixed from foamed bitumen with asphalt concrete warm mixes, and a geogrid is fixed between the layers of asphalt from the potential occurrence of cracks. A lighting system was set up along the route, road signs were installed and drainage systems were installed.

8. M3 Ukraine

For 40 years of operation, the road lined with concrete slabs has fallen into an extremely deplorable state. Prior to Kaluga, its condition can be described as tolerable - a site in the Bryansk region has been repaired. The rest of the mileage is potholes. varying degrees depth and width, in some places the road builders laid asphalt on top of dilapidated concrete, which made even larger cracks.

Therefore, "Ukraine" is especially dangerous during bad weather, when pits and ruts are insidiously hidden by rain. This is probably why the highway is not the busiest in the country.

9. A 151 Tsivilsk-Ulyanovsk

There is a school in the village of Kalaikasy right next to the highway. The section of the road opposite it is equipped with a traffic light and a pedestrian crossing, which, unfortunately, does not always save children from reckless drivers.

10. M7 Volga

The main causes of accidents on this road are non-observance of the distance and speed limit by motorists, driving into the oncoming lane, incorrect rebuilding on the lane, as well as pedestrians entering the carriageway.

Conclusion

Other equally popular routes can supplement our tragic list:

• M-58 Chita - Skovorodino where swampy soil washes away poor-quality coverage, causing "waves" and pits. There are practically no gas stations here, which forces you to stock up on your own fuel. And at night, cases of attacks by criminal gangs on motorists are not uncommon.
• A360 "Lena" Never - Yakutsk in general it is difficult to call the track. This is a broken road, shrouded in clouds of dust in the summer and impassable even in the "Ural" in the fall. But the main problem is the lack of a bridge across the Lena River. In the summer there is a queue for ferry crossing, in winter it is proposed to move directly on the ice with the risk of being under it in case of a thaw.
• M-5 "Ural" outwardly it is distinguished by high-quality coating, the presence of cafes, hotels and gas stations. But the extreme congestion of the highway leads to a high accident rate, and due to the concentration of correctional camps along the highway, to a frightening percentage of crime.
