United States · measured from OpenStreetMap geometry
NC 209 runs 25 miles between Hot Springs and Clyde. We counted 1,051 corners along it, which works out at 42 a mile — consistently twisty. It runs past mountain peaks, open water, a nature reserve and cliffs. 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 209 and NC 212 it makes about 24 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.
