The Most Crooked Street

Posted by Steven (Chicagoland, United States) on 1 May 2008 in Cityscape & Urban and Portfolio.

Known as the most crooked street in San Francisco, Lombard Street, between Hyde Street and Leavenworth Street is a one-way street that has eight switchbacks or turns. The street is paved with red bricks and the speed limit is 5 m.p.h. Since I could not get up any higher from below Lombard Street to actually show the street from top to bottom, I thought it was fitting that I caught a number of cars heading down at the same time. As popular as you may think the street is to tourists, there weren't many cars traveling down the street.
