From hair-raising roads with stunning vistas to the first motorway ever built
Most motorists will have roads they love and those they hate driving on. But whether it's due to design, congestion, or even their perilous nature, some of the UK's roads are more infamous than others.
The legendary 'Snake Pass' - A57 Snake Pass is known for being one of the most scenic drives in the UK. But the twists and turns which make it so spectacular have earned it a place on a list of the most dangerous roads in the world. According to the SABRE Wiki site - an archive of British and Irish road networks - it consists of a single flyover. The mini motorway is signed as part of the A57 Mancunian Way and was until 2016 officially the shortest motorway in England, measuring just 0.3 miles.It was opened in 1992 with no signpost or appearance on any map. Due to its short length, it has the privilege of being included in the Pathetic Motorways website, among its list of current but curious motorways.
Cat and Fiddle -A54/A537 The Cat and Fiddle, which stretches between Macclesfield and Buxton, is regularly named one of the UK's most dangerous roads. Named after the former pub building at its summit, the road crosses parts of the Peak District and is famous for its wonderful vistas. Along with the fame brought by the road number's biblical connotation, reports have been made of ghostly sightings on this road. One apparition said to have been spotted by motorists is that of a limping and hunched figure, known simply as the 'A666 Ghost'.
