NC 209 — Hot Springs to Clyde
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 — corner after corner with no let-up. It runs past mountain peaks, open water, a nature reserve and cliffs. 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 US 25;US 70 and Big Laurel Road it makes about 17 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.
