Baja Road comparison to 'World's Most Dangerous Road.'

In my opinion, the two worst sections of Mex-1 are;

1 - coming down the mountain to Santa Rosalia (sheer drop); and
2 - going across Punta Arena and into the Bahia Concepcion area (hairpin curves and speeding trucks).

But, when you're in a large RV, for thrills neither can compare to the US-1 coastal route through Sonoma County, California! Especially for the passenger if you're northbound!!

However, neither is on a level with The Devil's Backbone (Espinazo del Diablo) from Durango, Mexico on the way to Mazatlan. Which has to be one of the hairiest in the world. People swear they've seen their own tail lights.

Yes, I saw that program recently (I think on the history channel) UNBELIEVEABLE Makes our roads in baja look like child´s play

Driven that a couple of times. According to some natives, one of the most picturesque roads in Mexico. It's hairy at times, very many hairpin turns, but I didn't find it, at any time, very dangerous. HWY 1 stands out because of the excessive speed too many vehicles adhere to. Like folks that drive from the border to Mulege, with breakfast and lunch stops, in one day. They should designate the kind of roadside cross they like.
