I don't know if it can be considered the scariest highway, but I would vote that the 40 through Montreal is the worst highway in North America. Firstly it is elevated with fairly steep and rediculously short on and off ramps. Some of the off ramps have traffic lights at or near the bottom which makes things more interesting. There are no shoulders so there is no place to stop in the case of a flat or other mechanical problem. In addition to no shoulders, the lanes are very narrow and heavily populated with big trucks. Of course the local Montreal drivers want to travel at double the speed limit even when it is snowing. Combine all of these factors together and you have a very dangerous road that is not for the faint of heart.
