Yungas road earned its reputation because it has the highest death toll per year than any other road in the world.

Vehicles typically drive on the left-side, as opposed to the right-side like the rest of Bolivia. The reason vehicles drive on the left-side is because all of the vehicles have their steering wheel on the left-hand side. The road is so narrow that the driver has to be able to look out the window to make sure the wheels are on the road, making passing safer.Road of Death - Bolivia, South America
