We asked Yorkshire Evening Post readers on Facebook to name the single scariest road to drive on in Leeds - and the responses poured in with tales of tight rural bottlenecks, high-speed motorway merges, and lawless late-night corridors.
While plenty of drivers couldn't resist poking fun at the trek across the border into Bradford, dozens of motorists pointed to very real local hazard spots where blind bends, reckless overtakes, and chaotic multi-lane junctions leave even the most confident drivers on edge.
From the notorious stretch dubbed "Scarehills" to narrow country lane bottlenecks, here are the 13 scariest roads in Leeds according to local drivers.
