In some parts of the world roads are almost an afterthought. People want to get from point A to point B and there’s a piece of land that a coyote walked through once. Why not make it a road?
It was once said of the infamous Mosquito Pass in Colorado (the highest motorway in the US) that when a freight driver met a passenger coach, the freighter would get the right-of-way. This was because of the difficulty it would take to recover a load of freight that went over the side. If a passenger coach tumbled over you simply had to bury your cargo where it fell.
So enjoy these harrowing drives, and if you happen to navigate one of these roads (and live to tell the tale) let me know in the comments:
