Blue Ridge Parkway — Blowing Rock to Crossnore

United States · measured from OpenStreetMap geometry

Blue Ridge Parkway runs 25 miles between Blowing Rock and Crossnore. We counted 838 corners along it, which works out at 33.5 a mile — corner after corner with no let-up. It runs past mountain peaks, cliffs, a waterfall and a ridge line. That is busier than two thirds of the roads we have measured in the United States, where the median is 25.1 a mile.

Ridden together with Sampson Road and Rominger Road 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.
