Infographic: Driving The World’s Longest Roads

A Visual Analysis of the Seven Longest Highways On Earth

What do you consider a long drive? Many of us would say anything beyond a few hours; cross-country truck drivers and experienced overlanders might say a few days. But some routes make those trips look insignificant, with thousands upon thousands of miles of continuous highway stretching across a continent (or more).

Traveling one of the longest roads on earth could make for a great adventure and a fun undertaking. On the other hand, you could look at these routes as the ultimate long-distance bug-out paths — when “getting out of Dodge” isn't enough, putting Dodge on the opposite side of the continent might do the trick.

The following infographic from CarRentals shows the 7 longest roads on earth, as well as major landmarks, route length, and estimated travel time. Click here to download a full-size version of this graphic.
