Anyone who has ridden a roller coaster at least once knows the expression "to have your heart in your mouth." However, it’s unlikely this entertainment can be compared with highways built at an altitude of several kilometers over an abyss, in a lonely desert, above the water, or even below it.Bright Side invites you to travel through the most unimaginable roads in the world which overshadow even the coolest rides.

Guoliang Tunnel, China

© imgur  The Guoliang Tunnel is 1.2 km (0.75 mi) long and was built through a mountain range leading to the village of the same name. In the 1970s, the inhabitants of the village made this tunnel and the "windows" in it themselves using only hand tools. The width of the tunnel is about 4 m (13 ft), so drivers have to be extremely careful.

Maeklong Railway Market, Thailand

The sellers take their goods away and fold their tents in seconds, giving way to the train that moves at a speed of about 15 km/h.

Yungas Road, Bolivia

© wikimedia  Yungas Road connects the Bolivian cities of La Paz and Coroico. Descending from a height of 3,300 to 360 m (2 mi to 1,181 ft) above sea level, it forms a number of loops. Despite the fact that the road is very narrow, even trucks manage to pass each other. However, one of them often has to back up for quite a distance.

Eyre Highway, Australia

© russellstreet/flickr  Looking at this highway, one can hardly imagine it’s really dangerous. However, the number of accidents on this 1,600-km (994 mi) stretch of Australian highway, built far from localities, is really high. The reason is quite simple: the landscapes here are so monotonous that drivers simply fall asleep at the wheel.

The "Nose of the Devil" Railway, Ecuador

© structuralia/twitter  The "Nose of the Devil" railway is built on the rock of the same name at an altitude of 800 m (2,624 ft). Until recently, tourists were allowed to ride on the roofs of wagons running here, but today it’s prohibited.
