Blue Ridge Parkway — Buchanan to Buena Vista
United States · measured from OpenStreetMap geometry
Blue Ridge Parkway runs 12 miles between Buchanan and Buena Vista. We counted 532 corners along it, which works out at 44.3 a mile — corner after corner with no let-up. It runs past mountain peaks, a ridge line, a nature reserve and a waterfall. That puts it in the busiest tenth of every road we have measured in the United States, where the median is 25.1 a mile.
Ridden together with Blue Ridge Parkway and VA 39 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.
