In the Bakken oil fields of North Dakota, United States, a dirt road has gained a negative reputation among drivers and internet users.
Known as the “road of shame,” 135th Avenue NW in Williston turns into a real nightmare when it rains. The soft and slippery soil causes even large vehicles and off-road jeeps to get stuck, as shown in numerous videos shared on social media.
The section, originally an old wagon trail, has become an almost impassable challenge for those attempting to cross it on muddy days. Even 4×4 vehicles often need to be rescued, and the situation only improves in dry weather. The proximity to oil extraction areas also contributes to the instability of the terrain, which is constantly affected by erosion.
Local resident Devin Davis says he has observed cars getting stuck for at least a decade, totaling more than 300 incidents in that period. He documents these moments on his social media, where he records everything from trucks to delivery vehicles trapped in the mud, reinforcing the feared reputation of the road.
