NC 90 — Linville to Lenoir

United States · measured from OpenStreetMap geometry

NC 90 runs 25 miles between Linville and Lenoir. We counted 1,043 corners along it, which works out at 41.7 a mile — corner after corner with no let-up. It runs past mountain peaks, a river, woodland and open water. 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 Linville Gorge & Grandfather Mountain Pass and Blue Ridge Parkway it makes about 51 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.
