France · measured from OpenStreetMap geometry
D 526 runs 12 miles between Clavans-le-Haut and Saint-Sorlin-d'Arves. We counted 500 corners along it, which works out at 41.7 a mile — corner after corner with no let-up. It runs past mountain peaks, cliffs, a mountain pass and a waterfall. That is calmer than two thirds of the roads we have measured in France, where the median is 44.4 a mile.
Ridden together with D 526 and Col du Galibier & Col du Télégraphe it makes about 50 more miles of the same kind of road.

How we measured it
Corner counts come from the road's own geometry in OpenStreetMap, not from ratings or votes. Every bend above a threshold of curvature is counted once, so two roads can be compared directly. Nothing here is crowdsourced and nobody paid to appear.
