Blue Ridge Parkway — Asheville to Montreat

United States · measured from OpenStreetMap geometry

Blue Ridge Parkway runs 22.8 miles between Asheville and Montreat. We counted 940 corners along it, which works out at 41.3 a mile — consistently twisty. It runs past mountain peaks, cliffs, open water and a nature reserve. That puts it in the busiest tenth of every road we have measured in the United States, where the median is 19.4 a mile.

Ridden together with NC 694 and Blue Ridge Parkway it makes about 12 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.
