[billynair]

[reginafromrio]

i've been on a windier street in the oakland hills. i would have a vacation home if i lived on that stretch of lombard. my god.

[5025026]

it is the most curviest

[papadesi1]

Its not the steepest road/street in the world!!!

I want everyone who reads this to look up Calle Monroy-- it's in Tenerife, Canary Islands--and then decide what seems to be the steepest street. This street is slightly steeper than Baldwin and is about 2 miles long instead of 2 blocks

mow cop killer mile iz steep it iz at a 45 degree angle and iz a mile long obv. tht aint steep just curvy

[armours]

There is a passenger in the car, so why is the driver holding the camera & steering one handed? :-/

[rybo1000]

lol

[TheSikhRoots]

Thats the curviest not the steepest

[greg5566]

This is the world's CURVIEST street, not steepest. Almost all the streets in the neighborhood are steeper because they go straight down the hill.

It's actually not the curviest either. Probably the best label to give Lombard is the world's most famous street.

No, the steepest street is Canton Avenue, in Pittsburgh, PA. It's 2% steeper than Baldwin.

[ALEE775]

yeah but its too short. Therefore baldwin street is the steepest in the world(well according to the guiness book of records.)

[PantherP74]

Length has nothing to do with it. It's long enough to be a legitimate street.

[ALEE775]

nope, it clearly states it in the guiness book of records.

[jjmulvaney]

no this is in SANFRANsisco

[biffmofo]

yes this is in San Fransisco, but the steepest street isn't this one. (if you were refering to glassymoose)

[glassymoose]

This isn't the worlds' steepest street. It is actually Baldwin St in Dunedin, New Zealand.
