Most dangerous roads in the world?

The Guoliang tunnel in China is pretty breathtaking.

What makes Skipper's so dangerous is that is too narrow. There isn't enough room for a bus and a car to pass safely. One or the other has to pull right over and stop. Also only short wheel base busses can negotiate the tight bends safely.

If we could stop the busses from using the road then it would be much safer.

There's a series of bends on the Rimutakas like that that are finally getting sorted out.

They're not wrong about the Croatia coastal road. From Split to Dubrovnic, it's twisty as fuck.. with big drop offs that you wouldn't wake up from. The only place I had my Land Rover overtaken by a (full) bus. The locals have no brains at all.

Hell yeah I agree. Was there when a car chocked full of locals went over a cliff. Each corner you can look down and see shiny new wrecks on top of older wrecks on top of even older wrecks on top of WW2 tanks etc, probablly find old carts and horse bones under them too. I driven lots of places in the world and I race bikes and its hard to scare me - but that road was the only place I was truely scared for my life just by driving.

Anywhere near any KB group ride.

I'd have to agree with that.

Yeah, that's for sure. 5 years in the making, all done by hand... Wow.

The Arc d'Triumph is reasonably interesting two wheels or four. There was a time insurance companies didn't insure there.
Next the Severn Bridge in a crosswind gale,

I rode the North Yungas Rd, Bolivia--the first on the list--in January 2008 on a mountain bike. Faaark! There's a group photo showing 5 blokes standing with their bikes looking over the edge of a 500 m drop and one (me) standing on the other side of the road next to the bank. ("Look guys, I know there's a 500 m drop there, I don't have to torture myself by looking at it.") I was a bit worried sheer terror would cause me to freeze up and go off the road, but I survived and really enjoyed it.
