And you think the M25 is bad.
This Soviet-era Olympic highway in Russia has to be in the running for one of the worst roads in the world - and you can see why.
The cracked and buckled tarmac makes it look more like a giant jigsaw than an actual road.
But it's not down to over-use, age and poor workmanship, the highway was apparently ruined by spring flood water.
Footage of the road has been shared widely online and left readers amused and bemused.
"The road drank too much vodka," joked one viewer, while another said: "Crazy, and we moan about the odd pothole here!"
