Craziest Streets in the World

Ever wonder where are the widest, narrowest, steepest, most confusing and most crooked streets or roads in the world? You will find them all here!

How would you like to have 8 hairpin turns on the one section of road? Would be a lot of fun for some kart races.

World's most crooked road - Lombard Street, San Francisco, USA.
What about one large roundabout consisting of 5 mini roundabouts? There are multiple legal ways to get from one feeder road to the next. It is often voted the worst and most confusing intersection in England.

Baldwin St in Dunedin has become a tourist attraction as the steepest street on the planet. Remember the handbrake!

12 lanes of traffic in each direction make de Julio Avenue, Buenos Aires the widest road in the world at 100 metres across. It takes pedestrians a few minutes to cross it!

From the widest to the narrowest, Parliament St in Exeter, England is only 63cm wide in some parts meaning you will have to walk it sideways. (Don't even bother trying to get a bike through).
