It sounds like a very dramatic scene. Does anyone have a photo or drawing? --Drewnoakes 14:14, 12 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Not so dangerous I think ...

I've a question ... when were all the pics taken? I think not after 2003!!

I was there in 2004, and I can say the road is good! There were only few places, where was old road, but it was covered by "human lights" ... I think now, it must be completed.

Sure, foggy conditions are still big problem..

Check "photo of World's most dangerous road from my trip in 2004...

It's like showing pics from 11th September and say USA is very dangerous ...

Already very dangerous
Hi Goliathus, I should say that the road continues to be very dangerous. The pictures from the link
http://www.jordibusque.com/Index/Stories/YungasRoad/YungasRoad_01.html
were taken between May and August 2006. During my stay a bus felt down causing 24 death people (plus 31 injured), you can see:

The last important accident was last saturday (December 23) with another bus falling down afecting almos 50 people (several death), you can check:

May be when you visited the place your bus took the new road. But most of the drivers (specially the not turist) continues taking the old one in order to save time. Panex 21:16, 30 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
