While the scenery is very beautiful, this highway is also dangerous. Drivers must negotiate three different 10,000 passes with tight turns and NO GUARDRAILS.

This highway stretches 132 miles in the Sunshine State, but it is anything but pleasant for many people. It’s been ranked the deadliest interstate in the U.S. and has been ranked in the top 10 deadliest interstates for the past 6 years.

3. The Dalton Highway – Alaska

This 400-mile highway cuts through very remote areas in Alaska. There is a 240-mile stretch of the Dalton Highway that is completely barren: no gas, no restrooms, no restaurants, nothing. There are also steep sections and avalanche risks.

4. Highway 2 – Montana

Montana is sparsely populated, so accident victims regularly have to wait an average of 80 minutes for an ambulance to arrive. Highway 2 has a 70 mile per hour rate through mountain roads, often leading to accidents.

5. I-45 – Houston, Texas
