Stremnaya road(Road of Death :P)

Russian Siberian Road to Yakutsk
If you get stuck there then you are not coming out any time soon. http://www.winkk.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif
This is the official federal-government highway to Yakutsk, and it is also the only one to get there. As there are no other roads, the intrepid motorists are doomed to wallow in this dirt, or wait in week-long 100 km car line-ups (they say women even gave birth there while waiting).

How the road looks like in Winter :
