The Bayburt D915 Road is 66 miles long with 29 hairpin bends and no railings to prevent cars plunging over edges. Parts of the petrifying road are routinely closed off to the public in wintertime due to snow blizzards and ice. According to dangerousroads.org, the twisting, high-up route beats the infamous Death Road in Bolivia for riskiness. The most dangerous road in the world - a true highway to hell that has taken a toll of numerous lives in recent years - is in Turkey. A website - which searches for the world's most dangerous routes - chose the D915 Bayburt Road as their number one. The winding driving route even beat out the infamous 'Death Road' in Bolivia for riskiness. The Bayburt D915 Road is 66 miles long with 29 hairpin bends. Located in the foothills of the 6,000-foot-high Soganli Mountain, it is described as a difficult route where 'you cannot turn at some of the bends in a single manoeuvre; this road was built by Russian soldiers in 1916'. There are no railings at the road's edge to prevent vehicles from plunging to their doom in an accident. Parts of the road are routinely closed in wintertime due to snow blizzards and ice. While the Death Road in Bolivia is mostly used by tourists rubbernecking for splendid views, the Bayburt highway is a working road used by locals driving every form of transport - from lorries to motorbikes. Website dangerousroads.org, who conduced the research, said: 'Words and pictures are not enough to tell how dangerous this road is.' After the Turkish route, India's Keylong-Kishtwar Road was found to be the next most dangerous. Vehicles are constantly twisted along this high mountain trail, which is 144 miles long. It’s a mind numbing vertical drop of hundreds of feet so you might want to give it a miss on a windy day. New Zealand's La piste de l'Amitie took third place, with its sharply winding bends and precipitous ascent.
