14 Crazy Fast Roads For The Adrenaline Junky

What makes the journey more exciting than the destination is when it's harder, stronger, and faster. Thanks to modern technology, speed is everything. It is the reason we have moved on to fiber optics from dial up, and hopefully will continue to make our ascent to faster things. On a great road, there is nothing better than the wind in your hair and the accelerator floored.

Northern Territory Highways

The speed limit on the Northern Territory Highways in Australia is 81mph but there is rarely anyone who follows it. In fact, until a few years ago, this limit did not even exist. However, because of multiple kangaroo collisions, a speed limit was instituted.

Rural Roadways of the Isle of Man

Obviously, rules and regulations do not apply to the Isle of Man, and this is especially applicable to the rural roadways that come without speed limits. This doesn’t mean that the authorities haven’t tried. But they have failed; every time. They even have a race called the Isle of Man Tourist Trophy, pictured, which lets motorcycles race around the island to see who is fastest.

Highways of Slovakia

Around the cities and hamlets of Slovakia, the speed limit does not rise over 37mph. However, the highways running through the gorgeous countryside are where life comes alive at 81mph.

This expressway in India might be known for its speed, but there is another thing it is also known for: accidents. So, if you are in the area and wish to hear an engine revving, be careful because the expressway is a risky spot.

Trakia Highway of Bulgaria

The speed limit here is 87mph and it starts right at the capital. As compared to the European average, the Trakia Highway is the only completed highway in Bulgaria and is a relatively new stretch for drivers to spread their wings.

Autostradas of Poland

The speed limit on the highways of Poland is set at 87mph. This is a dream come true for all adrenaline and speed junkies all over the world. To Poland you drive.

Highways of UAE
