Lombard Street is best known for the one-way section on Russian Hill between Hyde and Leavenworth Streets, in which the roadway has eight sharp turns (or switchbacks) that have earned the street the distinction of being the crookedest [most winding] street in the world (though this title is contested).
The switchback's design, first suggested by property owner Carl Henry and instituted in 1922, was born out of necessity in order to reduce the hill's natural 27% grade, which was too steep for most vehicles. It is also a serious hazard to pedestrians, who are accustomed to a more reasonable sixteen-degree incline.
This section of the street, which is about 1⁄4 mile (400 m) long, is reserved for one-way traffic traveling east (downhill) and is paved with red bricks. The speed limit in this section is 5 mph (8 km/h).
In 1999, a Crooked Street Task Force was created to try to solve traffic problems in the neighborhoods around the winding section of Lombard Street. In 2001, the Task Force decided that it would not be legal to permanently close the block to vehicular traffic.
Instead, the Task Force decided to institute a summer parking ban in the area, to bar eastbound traffic on major holidays, and to increase fines for parking in the area. The Task Force also proposed the idea of using minibuses to ferry sightseers to the famous block, although residents debated the efficiency of such a solution, since one of the attractions of touring the area is driving along the twisting section of the street.
The Most Curved Road In The World / Lombard Street / San Francisco
Ability to pass on such street is in San Francisco, which is known to be standing on the hills .... And there in the city Lombard #Street (Lombard Street). Moreover, it is a 27-degree hill, so it still has eight critical turns. #Lombard Street (San Francisco). Of course, the curved section is only part of the entire #road. The speed limit on it only 5 miles / hour (8 km / h), and can only go down. On both sides of the road are the most expensive mansions in San Francisco.
The road was built in such a strange way, long ago, because the first vehicles due to the weakness of the engines could not cope with 27% slope. Yes, and pedestrians to climb is not very convenient. In 2001, local authorities had almost closed it to vehicles, but, on reflection, decided to move one way - from the top down and to limit and prohibit parking.

San Francisco boasts some of the steepest streets in the country and Lombard Street is no exception. With eight hair-pin turns, this crooked, red bricked road is a unique San Francisco attraction.
Lombard Street is claimed to be the “Most Crookedest Street in the World” and sits in the lovely Russian Hill neighborhood surrounded by beautiful Victorian mansions. Some of the most expensive San Francisco real estate is found here. Take a stroll along the steep, pedestrian friendly steps and snap a photo of the gorgeous view at the top overlooking Coit Tower and the cityscape.
Lombard Street was re-engineered in the 1920s because the steep 27% gradient made it unsafe for cars to drive down it during that time. The newly designed street added aesthetic appeal with landscaped gardens and red bricks. The gradient is now a safer 16% which is still steep considering the average gradient for pedestrians is about 4%. The speed limit down Lombard Street is 5 MPH, so take is slow and steady driving down this road.
To get to Lombard Street, the Powell-Hyde Cable Car will drop you off at the top. You can also take city buses through North Beach to get here. The most popular one is the #30 bus from Union Square.

San Francisco
San Francisco (SF), officially the City and County of San Francisco, is the cultural, commercial, and financial center of Northern California. It is the most densely settled large city in the state of California and the second-most densely populated major city in the United States after New York City.
A popular tourist destination, San Francisco is known for its cool summers, fog, steep rolling hills, eclectic mix of architecture, and landmarks, including the Golden Gate Bridge, cable cars, the former Alcatraz Federal Penitentiary, Fisherman's Wharf, and its Chinatown district. San Francisco is also the headquarters of five major banking institutions and various other companies such as Levi Strauss & Co., Gap Inc., Salesforce.com, Dropbox, Reddit, Square, Inc., Dolby, Airbnb, Weebly, Pacific Gas and Electric Company, Yelp, Pinterest, Twitter, Uber, Lyft, Mozilla, Wikimedia Foundation, and Craigslist. It has several nicknames, including The City by the Bay, Fog City, San Fran, and Frisco, as well as older ones like The City that Knows How, Baghdad by the Bay, The Paris of the West, or simply The City. As of 2016, San Francisco is ranked high on world liveability rankings.
The last 20 years have seen two booms driven by the internet industry. First was the dot-com boom of the late 1990s, startup companies invigorated the San Francisco economy. Large numbers of entrepreneurs and computer application developers moved into the city, followed by marketing, design, and sales professionals, changing the social landscape as once-poorer neighborhoods became increasingly gentrified. Demand for new housing and office space ignited a second wave of high-rise development, this time in the South of Market district. By 2000, the city's population reached new highs, surpassing the previous record set in 1950. When the bubble burst in 2001, many of these companies folded and their employees were laid off. Yet high technology and entrepreneurship remain mainstays of the San Francisco economy. By the mid 2000s (decade), the social media boom had begun, with San Francisco becoming a popular location for tech offices and a popular place to live for people employed in Silicon Valley companies such as Apple and Google.
Economy
San Francisco has a diversified service economy, with employment spread across a wide range of professional services, including financial services, tourism, and (increasingly) high technology.
Tourism and Conventions
Tourism is one of the city's largest private-sector industries, accounting for more than one out of seven jobs in the city. The city's frequent portrayal in music, film, and popular culture has made the city and its landmarks recognizable worldwide.
Sports
Major League Baseball's San Francisco Giants have played in San Francisco since moving from New York in 1958. The San Francisco 49ers of the National Football League (NFL) were the longest-tenured major professional sports franchise in the city until moving in 2013.
Culture and Contemporary Life
Although the Financial District, Union Square, and Fisherman's Wharf are well-known around the world, San Francisco is also characterized by its numerous culturally rich streetscapes featuring mixed-use neighborhoods anchored around central commercial corridors to which residents and visitors alike can walk.
Beaches and Parks
Several of San Francisco's parks and nearly all of its beaches form part of the regional Golden Gate National Recreation Area, one of the most visited units of the National Park system in the United States with over 13 million visitors a year.
