HOLY COW!! And I thought we had some nasty roads here in the U.S.!! Although my wife and I did travel one in western Oregon awhile back where there were junk trucks at the bottom of a ravine where the trucks didn't make the curves up the side of the mountain...

Very interesting article. Thanks.

There are many similar roads in the world, e.g., El Caminito del Rey in Malaga, Spain or Siberian road through Yakutsk or some roads in Nepal. They are definitely very exciting.
