29. Federal Highway 1, Mexico
Constructed: 1973
Risk Factor: Blind corners, no barriers
Federal Highway 101 in Mexico is one of the country’s most dangerous roads. It crosses through the Sierra Madre corridor, and it becomes Interstate-5 (another list-maker) when it reaches the international border with the U.S., just south of San Ysidro, CA.

Federal Highway 101 has no barriers, blind corners, and hard shoulders. The surface is asphalted, and the majority of it is a two-lane highway. When it’s traveling between Las Barrancas and El Medano, it consists of a lone stretch of 105 miles with no turns. Even then, there are parts of the road in bad condition, and you always have to keep a sharp eye out for vehicles traveling in the opposite direction.
