For me it was out and out creepy I was stationed at Bergen Hohne and in the small hours at the weekend would drive back from Hannover along the L298 and the road had a long sweeping bend to the right just before Belsen concentration camp was and you would feel the hairs on your neck rise at the same bit and didn't feel a nice place. However walking through the site of the camp both in daylight and at night you never had that feeling L298 29303 Bergen Germany

The slip road leaving the M50 at junction 2 towards Ledbury. Totally blind junction at the road intersection, just throttle and go. Whoever designed that junction and the highways department cretins that maintain it in its dangerous state should be made to use it regularly in a Motorhome to experience brown trouser moments for themselves.

M5 south, just in front of the accident last week. Wacky races, the carriageway is that worn it's like driving in railway lines.

A country road in France we had to use to get to a free borne, the road was only as wide as our track and very bumpy and in bad repair!

When I'm on my motorcycle I love the roads we hate when in the MoHo. Someone mentioned the A350 above which the above statement perfectly describes.

The bloody track the sat nav took us down in Cornwall. It seemed to ignore the fact that I had programmed the Motorhome's dimension into it!

A82 ,not all of it , just the first 5 or 6 miles between Tarbet and Crianlarich. Very narrow with rock face one side and drop at the other , with very tight turns . When raining ,the rock face pouring water on to the road. lot of middle of the road driving seen , its not a happy moment when vehicles large or small are coming at you in that way , especially at the turns and twists .

The roads in Calderdale, just been from France to our daughters in Todmorden and leaving the M 62 through Halfax and Hipperholme is horrid. The road surfaces are a disgrace and the speed of progress is dire, may be a long while before I venture that way again even though I get free beer and pub grub for my efforts.

The A9, though it's much better since they fitted the average speed cameras, and the M25.

Any road with a deep drop and no barriers even though I know the barriers wouldn't stop me.

The roads that approach duel carriageways and then suddenly bend to the right (or left in UK) and turn into a stupidly small slip road.

And any road with speed bumps.

Passo Gavia Italy, i've never done it in a motorhome and wouldn't want to, it was scary enough on a Motorbike 2,621 meters and most of it has no barriers and sheer drops in a lot of places.

From my motorcycle touring days.
After reaching the end of my outward trip the roads back home were a drag.
Even trying to add stops and things to do did not help. last few days were just getting home.

All the roads in Jersey. They are rock walled and very narrow. We lost our Fiamma awning there. We love the island, but next time would hire a car. All tourist cars have an "H" on them. It stands for Hire car but the locals call them "Horror" cars LOL.

Any straight one.

I've always thought the Tail of the Dragon would be fun. Only 11 miles but 318 bends. (y)

Any route in or out of Rouen gives me nightmares, having once been in a vehicle (not driving) when the driver accidentally took an underpass that could have ripped the roof off. Thankfully the police helped us reverse out and no damage done.

And of course the notorious Applecross - Diabaig route in Scotland
