Where are the most even roads in the world. Named countries with worst roads
Some are considered the main indicator of the quality of the highway their width and the number of traffic strips, others - the number of steep turns per kilometer of the road, the third - the quality of the asphalt, the fourth - the average speed of movement.
Therefore, a list of four countries with the best roads, which we publish here, quite conditional and is based on different sources.
Switzerland
The centuries-old habit of residents of this mountainous country do all the highest quality, whether it is hours, cheese or knives, noticeable and when driving on these roads. Tourist feedback predominantly enthusiastic - highways in Switzerland are in perfect condition and are very skillfully laid, you often forget that you are going through the mountainous area. True, the tunnels often resembled about it - they are in this small country more than 200. But for the excellent quality of Swiss roads you have to pay, and not for a kilometer, and on a kind of subscription - "vignette", which is issued for a year and is attached to every car.
Germany
The Germans themselves are on the question "Where are the best roads in the world?" Confidently answer - in Germany. After all, it was here that autobares were invented - high-speed highways with a separated barrier or in some other way of the oncoming flows of machines. The recommended speed of movement by the autobahn - 130km / hour, but this is the recommendation - the official limitation of speed on the autobah does not exist here. And since the speed is the main advantage of the autobahn, the maximum tilt of the road canal should not exceed 4%. As for strength road coatIt provides the thickness of the canvas 55-58cm, which allows the landing on the autoban even such a giant as Boeing747.
The construction of high-quality roads in the United States has always been a priority in the economic policy of the government of this country. Indeed, unlike Europe, most of the flow of goods and passengers in the United States falls on the railway, but on road transport. The overall length of highways in the United States is the largest in the world - more than six million kilometers, from them highways (here they are called "Interstate") - more than 76 thousand kilometers.
China
Under the length of roads, the subnet is held second, after the United States, a place in the world - almost four million kilometers. Moreover, the quality of Chinese roads, according to experts, does not cause complaints. The Chinese government invests huge funds in the development of the country's road network, solving a complex and ambitious task - to reach the first place in the world along the total length of highways.
We all know endless discussions on the themes: "", "Who cooks the most delicious beer?" or "Which company makes the best smartphones?". We are almost confident that these three questions you probably discussed with your colleagues or friends. But you ever wondered what the best road in the world, from the point of view of the route itself and the surrounding landscape? What do you think is the most? We offer you the first scientific research In this matter.
Such scientific research was conducted by Avis, which deals with car rental worldwide. In order to find out what kind of highway is the best in the world, they invited experts in various fields. So in order to choose the best autotrass on the planet Avis invited Mark Hadley, which is a quantum physicist. Also as an expert was brought by designer and racetracks Herman Tilke and engineer Designer "American Slobs" John Warley.
Experts together developed a formula that includes estimates on various parameters, each previously selected route. So the formula includes four main indicators: the beauty of the landscape, the number of curves (turns on the highway), the possibility of acceleration in direct and convenience of braking.
For each criterion, the experts set their estimates. Next, the indicators are summarized. As a result, each track received a finite score. This formula experts applied to 25 the most famous and most beautiful roads in the world. As a result, the absolute winner was the road in Portugal, which received the highest rating. The length of the route is 27 kilometers. This section of the road has 93 turns.
The road passes along the Douro River, overlooking the surrounding hills and vineyards. This is ideal for a tourist visit.

Experts of the World Economic Forum published a large-scale report, in which the study of the economies of the countries of the world, as well as called states with the worst and best roads . A total of 137 countries hit the list. The quality of the roads was estimated on a scale from one to seven, where "one" is the most negative indicator, and the "seven" is the best result. It is noteworthy that none of the states scored the highest score, but some were very close to the designated "ideal".
So, in the top ten of the leaders were the United Arab Emirates (6.4 points), Singapore (6.3 points), Switzerland (6.3 points), Hong Kong (6.2 points), the Netherlands (6.1 points), Japan (6.1 points), France (six points), Portugal (six points), Austria (six points) and the United States (5.7 points).

In the second dozen excellent students were Taiwan and China (divided 11th place), Korea, Denmark, Oman, Germany, Spain, Qatar, Sweden, Croatia and Luxembourg.
Russia also got into the list, but it turned out to be in it only in 114th place, gaining only 2.9 points.
Thus, Russia overtooks such countries as Kazakhstan (2.9 points), Zimbabwe (2.8), Malawi (2.8), Nepal (2.8), Venezuela (2.8), Romania (2 7), Lebanon (2.7), Kyrgyzstan (2.7), Costa Rica (2.6), Chad (2.6), Lesotho (2.6), Cameroon (2.6), Nigeria (2 , 5), Moldova (2.5), Mozambique (2.5), Ukraine (2.4), Paraguay (2.4), Yemen (2,3), Guinea (2.2), Madagascar (2, 2), Haiti (2,1), Congo (2,1) and Mauritania (2.0).

At the same time, its authors mark the trend for a general quality improvement russian roads. We explain that the quality parameter experts received, making up a general Index of global competitiveness of countries 2017-2018 - According to this indicator, Russia occupied 38 place out of 137.
"The Russian Federation has shown improvements in five positions, mainly due to the macroeconomic climate, and is actively coming out of the 2015-2016 recession, the study says. - However, the country's economy is still strongly dependent on the export of minerals, and its prospects remain uncertain. Lastly links include the financial market, in particular the banking sector, as well as the quality of a number of institutions, for example, ownership, the independence of the judiciary. At the same time, corruption remains one of the most problematic factors for doing business in Russia. In Russia, new laws for increasing the minimum wages (2015) and Protection of Temporary Employment (2016), which led to a decrease in labor market flexibility. However, as a result, it can bring a positive effect by restoring the inner purchasing power to which inflation and weak ruble have negatively affected.
What is relent and repaired on the roads of Russia

The most "codpety" countries
Note that research on quality, as well as road workloads are held regularly by various organizations and institutions. So, in 2017, the INRIX research company specializing in information on traffic and services for drivers amounted to. In the framework of the annual analytical study of Global Traffic Scorecard, Inrix experts studied the situation on the roads in 1064 cities in 38 countries of the world and, taking into account the average number of hours conducted by drivers in traffic jams for the year, revealed leaders and outsiders. 2015 leader for this indicator, the United States, was shifted from the first place for the fourth due to the addition to the ranking of countries South America and Asia. So, American drivers on average spent the entire working week in traffic jams - 42 hours. The country with the most loaded roads in the world was Thailand - here in peak reasons, drivers lost 61 hours. In second place Colombia (47 hours), and on the third - Indonesia (47 hours). Russia divided fourth place with the United States - Russian drivers are also idle in traffic on average 42 hours per year. The United Kingdom occupied the 11th place (32 hours), and Germany is 12th (30 hours). The authors of the study reported that this time they first analyzed the situation on the roads in more than one hundred Russian cities.
The world's road rating is based on the quality of road cloths of ten countries of the world. All roads entered in Top 10, scored from 6 to 6.6 points from possible 7. The quality of road webs was evaluated by highly qualified international experts.
World Road Rating:

Switzerland has the exceptional quality and high functionality of the transport canvas, which allows it to be in the top ten rating of the best roads of the world. There are a large number of high-speed motorways in the country, the fare for which is paid. These motorways are distributed quite evenly through the territory of the state, giving the opportunity to quickly and conveniently reach any part of it. However, travel on them is quite expensive, and not surprising, because the quality and comfort always has to pay. Part of the roads passes through the picturesque slopes of the Alpine Mountains. Roads, swinging rocks are real serpentines with many bends and steep turns passing straight over cliffs.
№6: Austria
Austria, or rather its transport routes, occupy the sixth line of the rating among the most high-quality roads of the world.

№3: Singapore
Singapore roads are considered among the best in the world. Road canvases occupy approximately 12% of the country, which makes it possible to significantly reduce the transport load. Roads have not only over quality coatingBut also excellent informative markup and lighting. Road network In total, it has a length of over 3 thousand kilometers and 150 km of high-speed highways. High-speed highways have up to 5 bands in each direction. On the tracks there are electronic scoreboards that inform drivers about the workload of the paths and the availability of parking spaces on the nearest parking lots.
№2: French roads
France has some of the best roads in the world. The total length of road cloths in the country is about 1 million kilometers. There are several types of roads: a, n, d, c, v. type A is a high-speed highway with a concrete separation strip, which exceeds the other quality. Type N is national roads with the maximum permissible speed of 110 km / h in the presence of concrete separators. Type D is the Department of Road Little good quality.

The victory of the United Arab Emirates got due to the latest infrastructure projects. The country wants to achieve a perfect state of all objects in the next five years. The state has already accepted international Standards Quality and achieved incredible success. Most long-distance transport routes have a minimum three-way movement in each direction, with chippers in the middle and lighting at night all over the motorway.
Also experts were drawn up the rating of the worst roads in the world. In this category, such countries such as Poland (2.6 points), Russia and Ukraine (2.5 points) have come to this category. The most poor-quality roads were in Moldova, scored only 1.5 points.
Roads are a very important indicator of the quality of life in any country of the world. A comprehensive approach to solving constant problems with the roadpapers helps the state becomes stronger, because the faster the blood runs on the veins - the more energy gets the whole organism. Unfortunately, our country before the implementation of such a concept is still very far. For the quality of the roads, we, this year, took the 136th place. But a more complete rating where you can see the best and worst roads from all over the world.
The road of death
Bolivia
Slipky, covered with wet mud descent of a few kilometers long - that is what is the famous The North Yungas Road, the Bolivian road of death. Every year on a narrow (here two cars will not be broken) the trail will die to five hundred people.
M56 "Lena"
Russia
The length of the M56 route is as much as 1235 kilometers. This road is rightfully considered the most dirtier and unpleasant worldwide. The federal route, which will be uncomfortable and Belaz, does not think: the asphalt lies here only in some areas, most of the "Lena" reminds horrible dream motorist.
Pass Stelvio
Italy
Maybe the track running through Stelvio's passage and does not look like a frightening - however, few people like this section of the road, where the wind strives to throw into the abyss even a heavy truck. Just three kilometers of ways are perceived by drivers as a heavy test: cool turns, poor quality coating and wind exhausts clearer the city racing.
Pan American highway
USA
This highway is dangerous throughout: You can ride on four wheels almost 70,000 kilometers, from Alaska to South America - of course, it is worth waiting for some problems! Many sections of the highway are in an extremely deplorable position. Not so much because of the connivance of local services, how much thanks to the constantly changing (but always unpleasant) weather conditions.
Sichuan Tibet Highway
China
7 500 deaths for every 100,000 drivers: after such gloomy statistics, you will be afraid to fear this, almost the most dangerous road in the world. Sudden landslides, snow avalanches and changeable weather - just do not just stand here.
Great Ocean Road
Australia
The Great Ocean Road passes at the coast itself, giving the driver the opportunity to enjoy the surrounding beauty. Highway coverage still leaves much to be desired, but convenience and safety remain at a fairly high level.
Dubai.
UAE
Dubai roads deserve a separate chapter. The motorways are built on technologies who came from Germany. Multi-tier tracks designed the best engineers and architects from all over the world: it is not surprising that it is this country that is considered a new modest lawmaker - at least in the road sphere.
Singapore
Singapore is a real pearl in the crown of the Asian Dragon. The city-state spends huge money to maintain roads in excellent condition and now that year falls into the short list of the best highways of the world.
Lisbon
Portugal
Oddly enough, Lisbon occupies an almost highest point of ranking. The Portuguese could even get around the Germans whose autobans were always considered a real reference to production.
Paris
France
Paris, of course, remains the owner of the best roads in the country, but also in the most remote areas of France, you can easily wait for the technician if it takes. Even the free roads of the country are distinguished by an excellent road surface.
