Trollstigen, Norway. That bus(?) seems to be having a little trouble.

With a name like “Death Road”, it HAS to be good...

Million dollar highway is breathtaking but not that scary, IMHO.

They forgot the road from the White House to the Capitol.

An honorable mention to the Moki Dugway in UT:

State Route 261 is a state highway located entirely within south-central San Juan County, Utah. It runs 34 miles (55 km) north, from the junction of U.S. Route 163 (3 miles (4.8 km) north of Mexican Hat), to the junction with State Route 95, just east of Natural Bridges National Monument.

The highway is part of the Utah section of the Trail of the Ancients, a National Scenic Byway.[2] It includes steep switchbacks as it traverses the Moki Dugway.

I wasn’t crazy about coming down from the Big Horns into Sheridan, WY via Route 14 in the dark. It took my wife a few minutes to pry my hands off of the steering wheel when we pulled into the parking lot of our hotel.

I will add my best remembered 14 that I have been on:

Hwy 191 South out of Alpine, AZ down to the Moranci/Clifton open pit mines — Coronado Hwy, I think it is called.

There is a single underground road of about two miles in the old silver mining city of Guanajuato, Mexico. It is mining roads and river drainage pathways that were turned into a road going through to the center of the city, one way. It is a real mine car type course.

The road into Zion.

The old Wolf Creek Pass in the dead of winter, without snow tires.

The Million Dollar Highway in the San Juan Moutains in Colorado from Durango to Ouray.

The General Crook Trail Forest Road 300 along the Mogollon Rim in AZ.

The Dog Town Lake Road to the top of Sycamore Canyon south of Wiliams, AZ.

Various boulevards in the South Side of Chicago late on a Saturday night.

Schnebly Pass Road coming into Sedona, AZ from the east especially as you drop down to the “Merry-Go-Round”.

Cherohalla Skyway, 165 & 143 going to the Santeetlah Lake in North Carolina and all the damn back highways you have to use getting to it from the southwest.

I-70 in St Louis in a winter rush hour.

Anywhere on an Oklahoma City Interstate during a flash flood.

I-35 through the Flint Hills in a winter storm.

I-80 east of Des Moines in a Blizzard.

For me, the drive into Lake Tahoe is always a “white knuckle” experience.

Those look like some scary highways, and I have never been on any of them. I did, however, travel the highways to Tagaytay and Baguio in the Philippines, and they were both rather breath taking.

The road going up Mt. Washington in New Hampshire is pretty wild.
