Some of the hills in downtown San Francisco are terrifying to drive up, particularly if you ever have to stop or park on one! There are a couple that make you feel like your car might actually flip over, end to end.

Locally, Washington state's highway 2 is the deadliest in the state. Narrow lanes, and it cuts through the mountains.

Pacific Coast Hwy. while getting close to Big Sur has hairpin turns along a cliff that have a posted 5 mph speed limit.

Something about the topic of this rang a bell-I thought a news program had done a story about this. Found this:
Dangerous roads

'Dateline' report identifies deadliest roads in America

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/7844269/

Found two other sites while looking for the above:
How many fatal accidents occurred on your local roads? Enter the state and county above to see the number of fatal accidents and fatalities reported for each road during 1996-2000.
http://www.msnbc.com/modules/tvnews/...form.asp?cp1=1

And then this one. The photos alone scare me-I can not see driving on them at all!:

Dear God, who would ever go "hiking" on that Chinese "trail"?!!! Without a parachute, I mean.

The Wolf Ledges entrance to Rt. 8 is pretty scary.
