	Lombard Street (San Francisco) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The switchback 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° slope which was too steep for most vehicles to climb and a serious hazard to pedestrians used to a more reasonable sixteen-degree incline.
		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.
		The street, and the difficulty of driving it, is the primary plot of the Bill Cosby sketch Driving in San Francisco.

	VIA Online: San Francisco's Lombard Street
		This thoroughfare is better known as the Crookedest Street in the World, a moniker stemming from the fact that, in 1922, city engineers crammed eight cobblestone switchbacks into a single steep block of Lombard.
		The Crookedest Street in the World; the main entrance to the Presidio; Telegraph Hill and Coit Tower; some notable private residences: Herb Caen lived at No. 101 Lombard; No. 900 served as the exterior of Jimmy Stewart's home in Vertigo; No. 953 was the house used for the 1994 season of MTV's The Real World.
		This past summer, the city redirected traffic heading to Lombard in an effort to discourage drivers and this is apt to be the case again next summer.

	Snake Alley is San Francisco's Lombard Street in California by Grosvenors Suite
		Located in the Russian Hill district, Lombard Street is known as "the crookedest street in the world" because of its eight sharp turns on a 40-degree slope.
		Lombard Street is not only "The Crooked Street." It continues in both directions, going all the way east, up Telegraph Hill to Coit Tower, and continuing west down through the Marina, where it becomes the major conduit to Golden Gate Bridge.
		Snake Alley battles San Francisco's Lombard Street for the title of "World's Crookedest Street." It was constructed in 1894 as an experimental street design (and a shortcut to Burlington's business district).

		Lombard Street is only accessable by car in a downward direction (one-way) and as you can see is very curvy.

	Lombard Street \| Museum/Attraction Review \| San Francisco \| Frommers.com
		Known (erroneously) as the "crookedest street in the world," this whimsically winding block of Lombard Street draws thousands of visitors each year (much to the chagrin of neighborhood residents, most of whom would prefer to block off the street to tourists).
		The angle of the street is so steep that the road has to snake back and forth to make a descent possible.
		I'm guessing the draw is the combination of a classic, unusually steep San Francisco street and a great photo op.

	AOL CityGuide: - San Francisco - Lombard Street - Attraction
		The world's "crookedest" street is a set of tight switchbacks, eight in all, that wind past beautifully landscaped flower beds, million-dollar homes and unsurpassed views of the Bay (unless you're the one driving -- it's a challenge).
		Starting from 20th Street, Vermont has only six switchbacks, but they're steeper and sharper, with an interesting view of the back of the city, though the street itself isn't as scenic.
		A final tip: Don't ask locals where Lombard Street is -- they're apt to point you further down toward the Marina District, where the street becomes a main traffic thoroughfare.

		They twist at very acute angles, making for very slow going if you are in a car, though, oddly enough, cars were the reason for designing the street this way back in 1922, the idea being that this design would make it easier for them to negotiate the steep 16-percent grade.
		The drive is usually bumper-to-bumper and in the summertime, there is almost always a line of cars waiting to take the drive down, so a stroll is a good option, especially when the hydrangeas along the sidewalk are in bloom.
