You and your car would be dead not even halfway up that proposed ramp.
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
Many can’t even make it up The Grapevine between LA and Bakersfield.
See this is the most unamerican bullshit ever said on this plateform…just left me fucking live without government oversight. It’s people like you who keep me and my people suppressed. I’m sick of absolute puss bags of people letting my pure blooded Americans from living their full lives. You expect us to live by your rules because you can’t even handle a slope in your Nissan leaf. Someone is own insatiable FUCK mobiles that can handle this grade. It’s not my fault you care about my body enough to try and regulate it. It’s my body, and it’s my choice what I do with it…lol

Looks like a job for the Suzuki Escudo Pikes Peak tuning.
No guardrail that I can see.
*Street view confirms no guardrail.

So you can take the straight path if you choose!
So OP motivated enough they could do exactly as it’s drawn
You only need one lane going up, and a jump off ramp at the top
Swiss would drill a tunnel.
I’m sensing a pattern with the swiss. 👀
They are themselves a hole in the EU
a hole’s indeed
Darn, i had the same idea 😂

So they’d make it a holey site?

He’s an ass. I’ve still never forgiven them for their Mexico special
True, he is and that was awful.
Never watched specifically because he gave me douchebag vibes from the start, what was so bad about the Mexico special?
Severe racism including calling Mexicans
“lazy, feckless, flatulent oaf(s)”, and described in detail how horrible it must be to be [wake] up and [remember] you’re Mexican"

it looks at Lombard St. in SF
“Pathetic”
That car parked in that not really a parking spot is just asking to have their bumper ripped off.
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.
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
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.

Going by the memory of my 1980 edition of the Guinness book of world records, it was the number of hairpin turns that made it the crookedest street. There could also be a difference between a street and a road.
I thought they blocked it to only local traffic after residents complained?

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.
Yea our Hyundai does this too but you need to tap on the brakes and then you will see the revs raise and hold. It only does it when on a downhill incline.
That’s beautiful!
Yes! Pretty well trafficked all day every day.
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.
Initial D!!!
GAS! GAS! GAS!
I’m gonna step on the gas
That was not the song that came to mind for me.
oh I know haha
Deja Vu, I’ve seen this comment before.

And I know it’s my time to go

MULTI-TRACK DRIFTING!?
I mean yea we want to stop erosion, but also going in a straight line is efficient. It’s all you can afford. You are in a dead sprint, forgetting the gash on your head. Down, down, down hill you go- it gets steeper but you try to use gravity to your advantage. You can’t let him catch you. You need to get to your car as soon as possible. What you and Sam saw back there was too much, and you both need to get as far away as possible. You are almost leaping with every sprint, but then you hit a patch of loose gravel and slip backwards, hitting your head on the ground. You feel dazed as you curl up grabbing the back of your skull. More blood comes out onto your hands, you know you are concussed but you also know the only way for survival is forward. You get back up and move as fast as you can. You look for Sam but in the confusion you lost him. You look around but the California landscape goes for miles, and you know this is where people disappear. You see far below is a stream, and all streams go down hill. You keep up the pace until you come to the waters lapping up to the pebbles around. You start moving down the flow of the stream as it gets larger. As you run, you see him- “SAM” you call out. He’s sitting on a log looking up, but he doesn’t turn around. You run up to him, the striped shirt you gave him is torn up. “Sam?” That’s when you know that somehow you’ve been outmanoeuvred.
A pike was holding the body of Sam up on the log, as if he was a lawn ornament. You best friend who you saved twice in Kuwait sat there, upright, but the life was long gone. You promised his mother you would keep him safe, but now you failed in what was supposed to be a small day hike.
Suddenly you see a flash of metal from the side of your eyes. Your concussion plus the sun makes it so hard to see, but you finally make out the figure who put you two through all this. Suddenly you vomit as you stumble to get away, but you become dizzy and splash into the shallows of the river. You try to get out when suddenly a hand grabs you by the hair and pulls you up.
There he is. Bloodied hands and all. You never thought you would be here. You never thought you would die by his hand. You never thought it would be today. You never thought it would be
But at the end of the day we want to minimize the impact of human activity in protected areas. Having switchbacks for stable roads helps avoid unnecessary maintenance that could be even more disruptive. Civil engineering is important!
peak fiction. I hope I’m going to get labeoufed more often.
Please say it ain’t a copypasta 😂
Honestly I got really high one night and had just seen the Shia LaBeouf song, so I decided to write my own fanfiction but sneaking it into random comments on Lemmy, and then I just kinda kept doing it. So no copy, but this is OC pasta.
I’m gonna coin the term “getting LaBeouf’ed”
You just got LaBeouf’ed.
I dig it :) Thanks for the lebeafing, it was good shit
edit the comment history is great :D keep the internet weird :)
must be a cities skylines enjoyer (modded)

Just build a slide for cars.

How that proposal looks in winterOoh, now I want to see sb drive up that
The incline would be too steep and you would lose stopping power, increase rollovers.
Pussy
If you want a private steep road then go figure it out rather than try to force that onto the whole of society. My grandmother still has her license.
I bet she would full send it on a 45 degree slope.
She would

Road bike line vs downhill mtb line.
