The most dangerous roads in Russia
Russia is not in the last place in our rating of the most dangerous roads of 2021, which is only worth our mud "Road of Life", which can be called, rather, a direction. Despite the fact that this route, although not fatal, but during the rains many trucks get stuck on it, which is the reason for delays in the supply of food and other goods to Yakutsk, for which it received its "romantic" name.
Highway A 146 Krasnodar - Verkhnebakansky can be considered the national record holder in terms of the number of victims. Here, for every 5-10 km, there are 5 wreaths, symbolizing the number of people killed in road accidents. According to experts, the main reason for the danger is its congestion with tourist traffic in the summer and a small width of the roadway. Hundreds of drivers along with passengers go from Kuban and Novorossiysk to the Black Sea. The roadway itself runs mostly on the plain and after Krymsk passes along the low-mountainous terrain and the Volch'i Vorota pass.
Many drivers might say that every road with bad asphalt and many pits can be considered dangerous, but one kind of places that we show in the ranking will make you wonder how risky the trip can be.
