Scary/dangerous roads!
What are some commonly known scary or dangerous roads in your area? Have you been on any scary roads, out of town?
I find the stretch of highway 61 that runs through St. Charles and Lincoln county in Missouri to be scary as hell. The high number of accidents proves that it's quite dangerous. What's scary about it? The speed limit is somewhat high for that type of road. People drive from 70mph to 90 mph. The dangerous part is that drivers do not merge from ramps that go parallel with the highway, they merge from intersections. So, you have cars moving 70-90mph, the highway is quite hilly/curvy (limited sight distance), and all of the sudden cars can merge from intersections driving at 30 mph, since they have to make a 90 degree turn.
