The Eyre Highway: The Longest Straight Road in the World

The Eyre Highway in Australia is the longest straight road in the world, with a stretch of 146 km without a single turn or exit. This highway, spanning 1675 km, connects Western Australia with South Australia, passing through the virtually uninhabited Nullarbor Plain, which covers an area of 200,000 square kilometers. The nearest civilization points are typically located 200-300 km apart. Furthermore, the Nullarbor Plain is also traversed by a railway, with one of its sections being the longest perfectly straight rail track in the world, measuring 478 km.
