10 Record Breaking Roads In The World

(8) The Straightest Road in the world

The Eyre Highway is 1,056-mile cut through the highway linking Western Australia and South Australia via the Nullarbor Plain. It was named after explorer Edward John Eyre, who was the first to cross the Nullarbor by land. It was designed primarily for use by gigantic road trains.

The typical view is that of a straight highway and practically unchanging flat saltbush-covered terrain, although some parts are located on ridges.

The Guinness Book of Records credits Ebenezer Place, in Wick, Caithness, Scotland, as the world’s shortest street at 2.06 m

The street originated in 1883, when Ebenezer Place was constructed; the owner of the building, a hotel at the time, was instructed to paint a name on the shortest side of the hotel. It was officially declared a street in 1887.
