I dunno why they call it the steepest street. In Polish mountains, there are streets so steep that it's difficult to drive ( you can drive on 1st gear at the speed of no more than 10 km/h) the situation is even more difficult because of the snow in the winter.
@eqbrim Canton Avenue, in Pittsburgh, United States; it is officially measured to be a 37% grade. [2][3] However, that angle of 37% only extends about 6.5 metres, whereas Baldwin Street's steepest part stretches considerably further.
so it is slightly steeper but the record is done of steepness over distance which baldwin st is steeper
Out of interest, do you know why Baldwin st is so steep and why they made it?
It's because Dunedin is basically a copy of Edinburgh, in Scotland. "Dunedin" is how Ed was originally pronounced.
Dunners was designed in London on paper, then they sailed round NZ looking for a place for it to fit. It ALMOST fit but there was a steep hill in the way but they put it there anyway, hence Baldwin street. It's because they couldn't be bothered making the paper map fit better ...
Id have to take a big run up and push my self into the redline to get up that! infact, i dont think my bike would! Would most likly loose oil and seize. It is a 2stroke sports track bike though lol
could you imagine if there was black ice on that road in the winter. that would suck ASS!!!

Too bad this is not the Steepest Street in the World. That title should belong to Canton Ave in Pittsburgh, Pa.
Baldwin Str = 35%
Canton Ave = 37%
