5. BR-116 – Brazil
Now if we’re being honest, when you literally have the nickname “The Highway Of Death,” you know you are definitely going to be landing a pretty high spot on this list. You think the person who helped design the road ever puts that on his cover letter?
To make this road even more dangerous, it is the second longest road in the entire country of Brazil as it runs for 2,200 miles. Sadly when it comes to trying to identify why this road is so dangerous, neglect seems to be the primary factor. Potholes litter the highway, as do other signs of a poorly maintained highway.
If you’re also a thief in Brazil and trying to stage some type of robbery from a car, the Highway of Death is probably where it is going to go down, making this is a constant problem for drivers.
Last but not least, it is also reported that there is a prostitution ring that occurs along the highway. That’s dangerous for a whole different type of reason!
