There was no work for their people so they did this to keep them busy. ☺️
it looks at Lombard St. in SF
“Pathetic”
That parking space for the white car in the first photo looks like it sucks.
Surprised it’s still the whole car and not just the front.
I wonder if that is actually an allowed space.
Agreed.
I’m feeling anxiety just imagining backing out of that.
That car parked in that not really a parking spot is just asking to have their bumper ripped off.
I guess SF lied when they said Lombard was the crookedest street in the world. The one from the meme is clearly more crooked. Also, when was that picture taken? There’s usually a huge line of tourist cars driving down that street. I’ve never seen it with only 2 cars.
I thought they blocked it to only local traffic after residents complained?
Do you guys think it would be a good idea if more US residential streets were made into this?
I thought it’s only exist in GTA San Andreas, but it’s real now
Might’ve even been real a few decades before San Andreas 😉
That’s a fun discovery!
That’s beautiful!
The incline would be too steep and you would lose stopping power, increase rollovers.
Pussy
If you want a private steep road then go figure it out rather than try to force that onto the whole of society. My grandmother still has her license.
I bet she would full send it on a 45 degree slope.
She would
A steep so slope, it keep you woke!
Seriously, don’t drive down this thing in your semi-truck tired, don’t even think about going down that waterpark slide unless you’re well rested when you get there.Imagine this spot being your best alternative, that’s one helluva mountain range. What’s this, like a pass between the Karakoram or something? Somewhere in the Andes?
How that proposal looks in winterOoh, now I want to see sb drive up that
why not make two roads? one only goes straight down. The other can be switchbacks to go up. let’s waste 2x the asphalt!
Ooh, and an intersection every time they cross.
Roundabout.
You and your car would be dead not even halfway up that proposed ramp.
Many can’t even make it up The Grapevine between LA and Bakersfield.
I imagine part of the reason why this was done was to not only have the road, but have it be much less susceptible to erosion so it last longer and is safer. I’m definitely no public works engineer but seems Iike the different tiers would help stop/limit slides
Yep
Looks like a job for the Suzuki Escudo Pikes Peak tuning.
Big asphalt at it again.
When you’re 100 words short of a 200-word essay.
\s
Of course I know that the road has to be this way 👀
For 15 dollars you can park your car in a mountain elevator which will go up in a straight line on the side of the mountain. LOL.
Not pictured is the incline that the switchbacks are set at. They put the exact minimum required, so most vehicles are struggling just with the switchbacks.

He’s an ass. I’ve still never forgiven them for their Mexico special
True, he is and that was awful.
No guardrail that I can see.
Street view confirms no guardrail
So you can take the straight path if you choose!
So OP motivated enough they could do exactly as it’s drawn
Road bike line vs downhill mtb line.
