Is This The Most Dangerous Road In The World?
Рет қаралды 29,670
Ай бұрынWhat’s the worst place to get a flat tyre? On the freeway? In the middle of nowhere? How about on a river crossing that’s full of man-eating crocodiles?
This is Cahill's Crossing in Australia's Northern Territory, probably the world's most dangerous road.
You can read our full review of this incredible river crossing here:

@@Mrandmrsromance Honestly thought a proper bridge would have been built by now. I admit there is problems with that given the best locations for a bridge upstream are absolutely covered with ancient art. Downstream, It's a big floodplain and the whole area is national park or part of Arnhem land.
@Mrandmrsromance Ай бұрын
@@geradkavanagh8240 I guess also that the water levels here change so much, a suitable bridge would have to be massive. Probably not what the locals really want either. Tricky one. In a way, I’m glad it hasn’t changed and hope it never does

This is definitely one crossing where you don't wade through the water first to check out the road conditions!! Only dangerous in terms of numbers of salt water crocs! You just need to give them their space.

By dangerous, I thought either traffic or just challenging to drive (think a steep, windy road with a cliff on one side and no guardrail in the fog and/or snow, at night, of course .Bonus points for rock slides on the uphill side. About as bad as it gets around here. ) maybe a river crossing, but never expected crocodiles....That's insane...In every situation I mentioned it would be much safer to walk, but not in this case.

Ha ha! I know right. As long as you stay in the car (and the car doesn't break down, get stuck or leak!) you're pretty safe on this road, but wouldn't recommend walking 😄

How do they maintain the road? If the surface deteriorates or some of it washes away wouldn't it be really (ie even more) dangerous?
@Mrandmrsromance Ай бұрын
@@purplehipporecorder great question. I have no idea. It’s really rough - you can see the vehicles wobble and bump all the way across. Maybe the water level drops enough during really low tides for some poor brave road workers to patch it or drop flat stones in the worst holes? Either way, what a nightmare!
