Looks good. On an unrelated note, this trope is desperately example starved.

3.1 is good, although I don't think we can get a better image quality...?
"For a successful technology, reality must take precedence over public relations, for Nature cannot be fooled." - Richard FeynmanI like this◊ one.
Check out my fanfiction!Don't think it fits but it's pretty good for Death Course.
I prefer 3 to 5 because you get to see more of the road. (Ah, so many memories of friends' journeys...)
Yup.
That was the amazing part. Things just keep going.Edit: For real life examples at least, I found a few good articles of MSN and CNN ranking the top deadliest roads in the world if that helps.
First off I find it ominously funny that I googled "deadly and dangerous pass" and the Yungas road was the first thing that came up.
Also what about image with the travelers teetering on the edge of death just to show the path means business? 1◊ 2◊, and 3◊ note

What about the highway through a war zone◊ variety?

The 2nd one might work for a different trope.
Agreed.
It's better, but I still lean toward the mountain road.
Is that a motion for a future Quicksand Sucks thread I hope?
Also which mountain road pic? There's tons of good ones. note

Go ahead and make a thread. That quicksand picture is better than the current on that.

Think I like 5 best.
Crowner's hooked.
Bump for votes.
This is ready to call. The new pic's up and tagged; caption or no? I was thinking "Rush hour must be a real bitch."

Check out my fanfiction!Either works, maybe with a pothole to Pun in the latter case.

Crown Description:
Nominations for replacement images:
This trope doesn't have an image... I think a good one would be one of the so-called world's most difficult road, the Yungas Road.
There are lots of images, but I think the one featured at Wikipedia shows the concept well:
