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 — consistently twisty. 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 19.4 a mile.
Ridden together with Blackberry Road and US 321 it makes about 29 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.
