Squirrels mainly travel between the tree crowns. Wherever trees are too far apart, as is the case around roads, they venture onto the ground. As six roads cross through the Gijsbrecht van Aemstelpark, squirrels would end up as road kill victims. To put an end to this situation, six squirrel bridges were created in 2012. In places where several squirrels had been run over, rope bridges were created to give squirrels safe passage between the tree crowns on either side of the lane. 2, record 1, English, - squirrel%20bridge

The Pan-American Highway is a network of roads nearly 48, 000 kilometres(29, 800 miles) in total length. Except for an 87 kilometre(54 mi) rainforest gap, called the Darién Gap, the road links the mainland nations of the Americas in a connected highway system. According to Guinness World Records, the Pan-American Highway is the world's longest "motorable road". However, because of the Darién Gap, it is not possible to cross between South America and Central America by traditional motor vehicle. The Pan-American Highway system is mostly complete and extends from Prudhoe Bay, Alaska, in North America to the lower reaches of South America. Several highway termini are claimed to exist, including the cities of Puerto Montt and Quellón in Chile and Ushuaia in Argentina. No comprehensive route is officially defined in Canada and the United States, though several highways there are called "Pan-American". The Pan-American Highway passes through many diverse climates and ecological types, from dense jungles to cold mountain passes. Since the highway passes through many countries, it is far from uniform. Some stretches of the highway are passable only during the dry season, and in many regions driving is occasionally hazardous. 1, record 11, English, - Pan%2DAmerican%20Highway

La transaméricaine ou autoroute panaméricaine est un système de voies rapides et d'autoroutes qui relie l'ensemble des Amériques : il est composé d'un axe principal qui parcourt le continent du nord au sud et de plusieurs axes secondaires transversaux. Sa longueur varie de 24 000 à 48 000 km [...], en raison du décompte d'axes secondaires ou de sections ne faisant pas officiellement partie du réseau; en particulier, l'ensemble du réseau routier fédéral des USA est officiellement reconnu comme faisant partie du système panaméricain, sans axe privilégié, ni signalisation particulière. Pour ces mêmes raisons, les différents auteurs ne s'accordent pas sur les points extrémaux du réseau. Conçue en 1923 pour être une route unique, la panaméricaine est finalement un raccord de différentes autoroutes construites par les pays participant au projet. La connexion du nord au sud est quasiment achevée : en 1997, il restait à réaliser deux tronçons totalisant 87 kilomètres au niveau du Panama et de la Colombie, mais la nécessité de traverser des parcs nationaux suscite une forte opposition et occasionne un retard important. 1, record 11, French, - transam%C3%A9ricaine

La Carretera Panamericana o "Ruta Panamericana", es un sistema colectivo de carreteras, de aproximadamente 48.000 km de largo, que vincula a casi todos los países del hemisferio occidental del continente americano con un tramo unido de carretera. Fue concebida en la V Conferencia Internacional de los Estados Americanos en 1923, celebrándose el Primer Congreso Panamericano de Carreteras en Buenos Aires en 1925, al que siguieron los de 1929 y 1939. La Carretera Panamericana se encuentra casi completa, y se extiende desde Alaska en América del Norte hasta la Patagonia en América del Sur. El tramo notable que impide que la carretera se conecte completamente es un tramo de 87 km de selva montañosa dura, ubicado entre el extremo este de Panamá y el noroeste de Colombia llamado el Tapón de Darién. 1, record 11, Spanish, - Carretera%20Panamericana
