  (#17) The Forest - Route 314a

  To those in the know, the 23.5-mile 314a loop is Central Florida's Nurburgring. No, the scenery on this particular road isn't stunning, and it's well known as a meat grinder for the unwary, but it's also an incredible driving challenge, and offers a combination of slaloms, hairpins, sweepers, and high-speed straights the equal of any rally circuit on Earth.

  It does go through a few residential areas, so be careful, and be considerate. The locals are pretty understanding if you drive like a gentleman... Florida police, not so much.

  (#11) Chief Joseph Scenic Byway

  This section of Wyoming Route 296 covers about 50 miles around Yellowstone National Park. There are two roads worth looking at: the aforementioned and Beartooth Highway (Route 212) going into Yellowstone. These roads are very popular among bikers, and offer a surprising mix of non-stop hairpins and high-speed sweepers. One of the better aspects of these roads is that, on four wheels at least, they're even fun if you're staying within the posted speed limit. Just don't get distracted by the scenery - Yellowstone's roads don't let up for a moment.

  (#15) Pacific Rim Highway - Vancouver Island

  Located on Canada's most famous Pacific Island, Route 19 is a 95-mile stretch of seaside perfection running from Parksville to Tofino. On one side, you've got the strait of Georgia, and lots of pretty offshore islands to gawk at. On the other, you've got a mountain range.

  With its ever-changing scenery, combination of technical and high-speed sections and general lack of traffic, the Pacific Rim Highway will keep you engaged from start to finish. It's also fairly wide as such highways go, so a bit more forgiving than a lot of others on this list.

  (#7) The Lang Whang, the UK's A70

  This road's name is Scottish, and it covers 75 miles between Edinburgh and Ayr, in the misty moors. Apart from being the twisting B-road for which all British roadsters are build, the A70 winds through the emerald and heather expanses of the Scottish highlands amid castles, mountains, and lots and lots of sheep. With an eerie and Druidic charm of its own, the Lang Whang is a must-see for anyone planning a drive through the Auld Country.

  (#2) Col de Turini, Italy

  Top Gear fans will recognize this 30-mile plate of asphalt spaghetti from the 2007 special "World's Best Driving Road." It runs through the Alps from Sospel, Italy to La Bollene, and has featured as a stage on the World Rally Championship tour for over 50 years. It's beautiful, narrow, dangerous, rife with blind corners, and absurdly deadly at night. Still, for those who dare, the Col de Turini may be about as close to driving heaven as Europe has to offer.

  (#1) Pacific Coast Highway, California

  If you haven't heard of the PCH, then you've never seen a single movie made in California. This 515-mile stretch of photo ready perfection follows the Pacific coastline from Los Angeles to San Francisco and features some of the most thrilling twists, turns, drops, and rises in North America.

  It's also said to be the most filmed road in the world, having shown up in seemingly every car movie you've ever seen. No American can call themselves a gearhead without driving the PCH at least once.
