Norway's Atlantic Ocean Road is said to be one of the world's most dangerous roads. Cars that drive along it experience daring twists and turns right atop the unpredictable Atlantic Ocean. Would you dare drive this?
I would and I've had. Or I was as a passenger. It's not dangerous at all, and one of Norway's most famous tourist attractions. Apparently the "dangerous" hasn't caused a single fatal accident since opening. There in the video the weather is kind of bad, but if you are alert and are careful with the speed, I don't see what's so tricky about it. And it's just a 8 km island-hopping road which in the end is quite straight.
Both Trollstigen and this one are beautiful attractions, chilling? Yes. But dangerous? Not really, as there haven't been any single accident on either of them.

The Yungas Road in Bolivia is dangerous. This road is not. It is just a "normal" coastal road. The most dangerous road in Norway is E6 between Oslo and Trondheim.
So it's connecting all the different small islands then?
It looks awesome ( provided the weather is good)))
Islands and skerries yes. I think some are also man-made banks. And the speed limit is 60 km/h or something, so it's not some rallye stretch in the Alps either. Certainly very beautiful, but if you erase the mountains you can find similar type of roads going beside and over lakes here, so maybe someone from North Dakota or Spain would get a more unique experience.

I looked at it one more time. Yes, it looks really cool.
What's about storms? Do they close the road during storms ( at certain seasons may be?) or it never gets that bad?

I could imagine that. Autumn and winter storms can be quite tough, but I think the locals will just avoid travelling then.
