Fairbanks - the most extreme roads in America is the Dalton Highway. Located in Alaska, the temperature there can reach minus 15 degrees Celsius with nearly covered with snow and ice throughout the year. On the right and left, everything was white!
Please find a list of dangerous roads in the world on the internet, Dalton Highway is sure to be one of them. If the other streets on the brink, a nosedive or berlika and turns in the hills, so different from the Dalton Highway. Here the streets are considered the world's coldest and dangerous because vehicles easily slip.
From the website of the US Department of the Interior Berau of Land Management. Dalton Highway stretches 666 km from the city of Fairbanks until at Deadhorse. Two cities are located in the State of Alaska.

Only half of the Dalton Highway into the Arctic Circle. That is, the extreme cold weather will be a challenge for the driver along the way. Just imagine, the most severe temperature ever recorded there reached minus 40 degrees Celsius!
Summer course, which lasts from July to September, the average temperature in the daytime and 21-10 degrees Celsius at night, 10-2 degrees Celsius. Meanwhile, if the winter months, the afternoon alone was 1 degree Celsius and at night, the average temperature is minus 15 degrees Celsius!
Any strict rules imposed by the US government, citing the safety of truck drivers. First, that's for sure is to check the vehicle for all the 600s km, there are only three towns are bypassed, ie Coldfoot, Wiseman and Deadhorse is located at the very end close to the sea as well as the end of the trip.
Second, the lights are obliged to continue to light up each time. Just so you know, the snow storm blanketed the Dalton Highway often makes poor visibility. Not surprisingly, another vehicle head-on collision or a slip've often occur there. At night, there is also no street lighting torch.

Thirdly, about the speed of the vehicle. Please note, any vehicles that pass there either car or truck may only be at the rate of 50 km per hour. Can not be over!
Since it first opened, Dalton Highway is stealing the attention of tourists and the people of Alaska itself. They are willing to try, the sensation of carrying vehicles are considered the most slippery and cold in the world. One more, during the summer, the sun will be visible 24 hours in the sky.
The US government, Dalton Highway was indeed open to the public. Only 13 km from the sea in the last town, Deadhorse public vehicles are prohibited past because it has entered the area of oilfield.
But unfortunately, the car rental in Alaska or the nearby towns of the US there most will not rent to tourists who want to explore the Dalton Highway. Therefore, insurers will not be willing to bear whatever happens.
