    Default World's Weirdest Roadways- 30 pics

    Thought this was pretty cool, documents some gnarly roads all around the world

    Highlights:
    -airport taxi runway overpasses a main highway: shows Airbus A380 driving over a highway!
    -San Fran road with about 6 switchbacks in a city block that has 27 percent grade

    and a whole bunch others:

    Stelvio Pass please. My dad said he drove it in his youth in his Triumph Dolomite and it was awesome.

    Passo dello Stelvio looks amazing in that photo. Still one of my favorite Top Gear episodes when they go there.

    Although, The Atlanterhavsveien, Norway, looks like it would be an absolute blast to drive!



    This is just insane!

    I'm sorry, but that would be fun as hell.



    Flipper Bridge
    Here’s a problem you’ve never thought about: How do you build a bridge that connects left-hand-drive Hong Kong with right-hand-drive China? You can’t just blow a whistle, “okay, switch!” This concept bridge solves the problem by crossing one lane under the other. On a bridge, it’s fine, but we worry about what happens we you’re suddenly in another city and you’ve got to remember to drive on the opposite side of the road. (Photo: NL Architects)
    Awesome.

    Ummm, search up and look at the airport's expansion plans and you should be able to figure it out.
    Will fuck off, again.

    You guys should google the Bolivian death highway. its fucking insane.....






    ^ Interesting that they call THAT a two lane "highway".

    200-300 people die a year on it. Its incredible..... 800 meter drops with 20" to spare in some spots.
