Lombard Street San Francisco California

You might think that the twistiest road in the world would have keen drivers flocking to thread their sports cars and hot hatches down it but Lombard Street in San Francisco is far too twisty for that. Think of it as an alpine pass in miniature with a series of 8 hairpin bends in just 400 metres as the road descends a 27 degree gradient. The speed limit is just 5mph and this is definitely one to approach with caution.
