Without moving the wheel for two hours, this is the straightest road in the world

In a world where roads stretch for thousands of kilometers with sharp curves and dangerous descents, there is a stretch of highway where drivers travel for hours without moving the steering wheel left or right.

It's about Highway 10 in Saudi Arabia, the straightest road in the world, which holds the Guinness record.

Although the highway has a total length of 1,480 kilometers, the record is set by its straight section, a 240-kilometer segment, without any noticeable curves or gradients. This segment connects the Haradh area with Highway 95, passing through the Saudi desert and surpassing the previous record in Australia, where the Eyre Highway has a straight segment of 146 kilometers.

Highway 10 was originally built as a private road for King Fahd and today is considered one of the most unusual and monotonous routes for drivers. Traveling on this section of the highway takes about two hours without moving the wheel.
