Most stressful road you've driven on?

The most stressful road I’ve driven on is I-4 in Orlando, it’s 10 lanes across in some places I think. I quit driving on it after I had a close call and had a panic attack. I’ve read there’s a 26 lane wide road in Texas (in pic below) and a 24 wide lane road in California.

It makes me nervous just looking at that road! :smiley:

The Pennsylvania Turnpike. Potholes as large as a sofa, and humpback roads. Perpetually being repaired. It’s a money pit.

Bombing through some two lane highway through West Virgina middle of the night only car on the road…fast. Some animal comes bounding out of the woods and right across my path…nearly ran clear off a cliff.

Yikes! I’ve heard people joke about PA roads, but I was assuming they were joking. There’s a famous meme about PA roads (below).

Anyone where other people are on it.

Seriously, I spend a ridiculous amount of time avoiding traffic. I try to take as many back roads as possible. It usually takes me twice as long to get anywhere.

By the way, that photo makes me ill just looking at it.

Coming home from north of San Francisco on Highway 101, two months ago after visiting my very ill mom. I went crazy and shut down. I didn’t look at anybody else, it was just survival. It’s the main reason I was hospitalized. I made that drive twice in a week, 175 miles up through traffic, a 175 miles back through traffic. Twice in a week. Grieving over my mom.

Driving from Trinity East to New Bonaventure, Newfoundland. The road was slick, narrow, in indifferent repair, bordered steep dropoffs with very little shoulder. As much as we loved Newfoundland, can’t say this little side trip was worth it :smile_cat: :scream_cat:

Another crazy pic of the road in houston from a different view. It looks best if you click on it to see the full size image. shudders

Black ice that stuff is scary. Not exactly a road but such a pain. And it makes people get all wonky. Like there was this one dude behind another at a stop light, and he drove over the sidewalk to get around the dude in front of him to make a right turn. Funniest driving move ive ever seen. Out of gta or something.

The road to hell…

Despite what you may think, good intentions is a real bitch of a surface to drive on.

I know wtf?

It was on one of the Canary Islands, Lanzarote, near a vulcano, no traffic barriers or anything, just a cliff hanging on the side. The driver of the bus was used to driving in that road so he was driving fast. It was one of the scariest roads I’ve been, number one being in portugal, I mentioned it on this site once. Definetly the most stressful.
