must be a cities skylines enjoyer (modded)
When you’re 100 words short of a 200-word essay.

Of course I know that the road has to be this way 👀
it looks at Lombard St. in SF
“Pathetic”
Honestly that is probably less dangerous than the regular streets of SF. Never felt more like I was about to die in a cab than I did riding in SF. Dude seemed to know what he was doing but it felt like a roller coaster.
Now imagine the actual Steve McQueen driving at top Mustang speed up and down those streets in Bullitt. Absolute legend.
Do you guys think it would be a good idea if more US residential streets were made into this?
even better would be making it a sheer cliff with an elevator and a staircase.
I guess SF lied when they said Lombard was the crookedest street in the world. The one from the meme is clearly more crooked. Also, when was that picture taken? There’s usually a huge line of tourist cars driving down that street. I’ve never seen it with only 2 cars.
I thought they blocked it to only local traffic after residents complained?
That car parked in that not really a parking spot is just asking to have their bumper ripped off.
I thought it’s only exist in GTA San Andreas, but it’s real now
Might’ve even been real a few decades before San Andreas 😉
That’s a fun discovery!
And Midtown Madness 2
I want to coast down that in neutral so bad.
Coast down it in first so you don’t fade your brakes to uselessness (even automatics have a first-second for engine braking downhill like this).
Not mine. I think it has automatic engine braking or something since I don’t drift downhill as soon as I let off the brake though.
That’s beautiful!
That parking space for the white car in the first photo looks like it sucks.
Surprised it’s still the whole car and not just the front.
I wonder if that is actually an allowed space.
Agreed.
I’m feeling anxiety just imagining backing out of that.
This road was so much fun I rode up it twice in 2012. You can see this section starting at 1m30sec. https://youtu.be/za0mQFl-4jI?si=rYq6qbP8caSD_bIQ
You really should think about not crossing over into the opposite lane, especially on blind turns on a switchback.
None of it was blind. You can see through every one. Also, the camera didn’t have the contrast ability to show that I could see deep into the tunnel. Why do to think the corners were blind? Did you see some trees or berms that werent there?
How that proposal looks in winter
Ooh, now I want to see sb drive up that
Initial D!!!
Deja Vu, I’ve seen this comment before.
(Higher in the thread)🎵
And I know it’s my time to go
GAS! GAS! GAS!
That was not the song that came to mind for me.
I’m gonna step on the gas
Not pictured is the incline that the switchbacks are set at. They put the exact minimum required, so most vehicles are struggling just with the switchbacks.
Just build a slide for cars.
With a ramp at the end like the skiing long jump in the Olympics.
You and your car would be dead not even halfway up that proposed ramp.
Many can’t even make it up The Grapevine between LA and Bakersfield.
Looks like a job for the Suzuki Escudo Pikes Peak tuning.
I imagine part of the reason why this was done was to not only have the road, but have it be much less susceptible to erosion so it last longer and is safer. I’m definitely no public works engineer but seems Iike the different tiers would help stop/limit slides
Yep
White knuckling of death, shit geyser filled pants, eyes squirting like Adriana Chechik, doing 200 downslope. Rookies!
Big asphalt at it again.
There was no work for their people so they did this to keep them busy. ☺️
For 15 dollars you can park your car in a mountain elevator which will go up in a straight line on the side of the mountain. LOL.
why not make two roads? one only goes straight down. The other can be switchbacks to go up. let’s waste 2x the asphalt!
Ooh, and an intersection every time they cross.
Roundabout.
