In the very loose meaning of "can walk". This road crosses several dangerous areas for multiple reasons, from war and jungles, to deserts and tundra, not to mention all the visas you'd need.

There's a guy on Youtube who crossed the entire length of Africa on foot. Got kidnapped twice IIRC.
Russ Cook.
i can think of much more exciting things to do if i had a death wish tbh
holy shit i was thinking exactly that...i wonder how many other people are
Same, and most of those things begin and end with copious amounts of drugs.
Dude even excluding the human factors like politics, war, etc, the terrain would just be insanely rough and dangerous in basically every possible way
This route walks up the Nile and crosses the desert um Sudan. It then walks down remote roads in the DRC. It's just so over the top insane.
I got curious. The map/path is real.
BUT
The map begins and ends pretty arbitrarily. Both roads keep going before and beyond those points.
It assumes a ferry ride across the Suez canal (although there is seemingly a new-ish floating bridge that allows pedestrians to cross the canal, but it is only floated out at certain times (and maybe doesn't exist anymore after a boat collision incident?))
This is the farthest distance not the longest road
Case in point
"I live at 0024 Long as Fuck Road."
"OMG, we live on the same street! I live on 999999 Long As Fuck Road."
That ain't the longest road you can squiggle down the alleys in the cities. The longest road probably has like 3/4 of the distance just moving down the roads in the cities in a zig zag pattern.

Bruh fuck no, I'm gonna die in South Sudan if I walk this.
Fucking impressive to make it that far tbh
That whole middle east area is getting fucked by Israel. They will target you for fun, regardless of skin color.
The part through Israel is by far the safest section of this trail.
Oh please, stop playing the victim you pathetic cunt! Everyone knows that there's no moral difference between Israel and its neighbours. The only difference is who's got the bigger guns.
I would die in Cape town lol
That's why I'm going backwards from Magadan to Cape Town! See you at the end losers!!! /S

On the map it just crosses the red sea, how is this a continuous road?
Who do they think can walk this, Moses?
If you keep reading they introduce a new skill that just let's you walk on top the water.

I think it's a misrepresentation. This is probably the two most distant places by Google Maps trip duration.
That road, deadass, goes through five war zones. Hell no.
Sudan, Palestine, Ukraine, ____, and ____?
Syria and Gaza. Plus, it runs up along the Congo for quite a ways. That's a route with some chest hair!

Adventure!
legitimately one of the cool things about white people
How do you cross the Meme Zar?
There is a white couple somewhere ready to tackle this.

187 days, if you're walking continuously 24/7
This route is for sleepwalkers only.
If the goal is to go straight there, yeah. If the goal is longest, you'll have a hell of a lot of detours
What is this a reference to?
Moses crossing the red sea? I don't know but the route on the map definitely crosses from Africa to Asia too far south.
Also, you can't walk across the Suez canal.
Your can if you're a zombie. But you can't use either a phone or a paper map underwater, so you might end up wandering around the Indian Ocean. Unless you can navigate by the stars, idk how clear that water is.
Fun fact: If you were able to cross the Bering Straight then the only thing that would keep this road from reaching Argentina would be the Darien Gap, a stretch of dense rainforest that separates Panama from Colombia. Unfortunately it's one of the most inhospitable places on Earth!
If immigrants can do it, then i can too

You can see their shadows wandering off somewhere, they won't make it home, but they really don't care...
Could it be a Fastball reference...? Hmm...
They'll have two kids along the way too.
If I can average v km/hr with gear at x hr/day this hike will take 22387/v/x/365 years.
As long as you film it and put it on the internet, why not!
This would take over 187 days if you didn't have to stop to sleep.
So I walked the Pacific Crest Trail in 106 days. That's 2650mi/4264km so I walked about 25mi/40km per day.
So if I could maintain that pace (which is debatable because the PCT doesn't go through different countries or warzones) this would take me 557 days, or about 18 months.
What’s the road?
Smith Street
i didn t get it
