According to the report of Oddity Central News website, there is a 240 kilometer long road in Saudi Arabia, which is considered to be the longest straight road in the world. But at the same time, this road is also infamous as the most boring road. A major reason for accidents on the highway is that drivers drive at a fixed speed. Because of that the road becomes very boring. There are neither any turns, nor any buildings or things nearby that attract attention. For this reason, there is a need to drive very cautiously on the highway.

Something similar happens on this road in Saudi Arabia also. This road is on Highway-10 of Saudi Arabia which is a total of 1474 kilometers long. It connects cities like Al-Darb and Al-Batha. Earlier this road was built as a private road of King Fahad. But when it was opened to the public, it was recorded in the Guinness World Records as the longest straight road.
There is no bend anywhere on the road
This road is called boring because it passes through the desert. There are no nearby trees, plants, fields, buildings, or much crowd, due to which people get bored while walking in a straight direction, due to which the driver may fall asleep and accidents may occur. There is no bend on the road. According to Guinness World Records, it takes about 2 hours to complete this road. The road takes a slight turn while reaching Al-Batha city.
