We all know that the construction of highways is generally very demanding in terms of safety and durability. But this road is called the most dangerous road, so did not take this into account when building the Geyser Passage?


The Geyser Passage is a road used for connecting the French Bois-Maritime with the outer islands and a road submerged by seawater. Therefore, the Geyser Passage has an additional name, which is a crazy highway in France.


It is said that this road was first noticed in the early 18th century and started to be marked on maps. However, it was more than 100 years before the Geyser Passage was officially opened to traffic. But even in the 19th century when the automobile had just appeared, the road was still most traveled by horse-driven carriage or horseback.


Although the full length of the Geyser Passage is only 4,200 meters, drivers need to step on the gas to get to the other side of the road and the average passing time for them is only 70 seconds. It can be said that the transportation efficiency is dramatically improved.


You know the maximum speed on the highway is only 120 kilometers per hour, equivalent to only 33 meters per second. However, the Geyser Passage does not require much of the drivers' speed, so much so that some drivers can travel 100 meters per second. Such a speed is estimated to be one that the vast majority of drivers in the country have not experienced firsthand.


So why should drivers drive so fast through the Geyser Passage, and why is this passage the most dangerous highway in the world?


It turns out that the highway is affected by the tides of the ocean, generally when the tide is high and low. That is, in the early morning and evening, to see a road connecting the two sides of the highway and just accommodating two cars from the opposite direction to pass through.


The tide is greatly influenced by the season, so many drivers find it difficult to predict whether they will get stuck in the embarrassing situation of high tide.


It is understood that people were surprised about the discovery of the passage in the early 17th century when they at that time reached the other side mainly by boat. But for a long time, no one dared to walk through the passage.


It was not until more than a hundred years later that a young man on horseback took five minutes to pass through the passage. Gradually, the number of people riding horses through the passage in the sea was increasing, but because people did not know the phenomenon of high tide at that time, many of them rode horses to drown.


As the local people knew more about the passage, more and more people dared to challenge this passage. Although the French government built a cross-sea bridge in the 1970s, many French people still got used to passing through the Geyser Passage because the bridge was too circuitous.


In the early morning and evening of every day, the scene where cars are waiting to pass one after another also attracts tourists worldwide to beat the traffic here.


According to local people, people must be wildly stepping on the gas to maintain the highest speed in the car when passing through the passage, otherwise, it is easy to encounter high tide halfway, and then you can only let the car be buried in the sea.


The traffic jam costs people dearly and there are people watching cars floating on the sea every year.
