The Steepest streets in the World

[pderocco]

Madison Street in Downtown Seattle is pretty steep for a major urban street that also has buses. The stops there require a bit of engineering help:

You have to tilt your body to get through the tilted bus door.

Indeed, it's quite the awkward configuration (plus bikes have to go through the door).

Well here's the steepest grade in Manhattan, Lexington Ave at 102-103 Sts. 12.5%

Duluth in general has a ton of steep roads.  Other US Cities with frequent steep roads that come to mind off the top of my head include; Seattle, San Francisco, Los Angeles and Pittsburgh. 

As far as steepest goes, it really depends on what definition you're using.  Take away the 10 meter requirement and the list varies greatly:

... As will "streets" that are basically staircases that don't actually carry motorized vehicular traffic.

I love San Francisco's staircase streets.  Always seemed like stepping into little niches outside of the bustle of the city.

Doug has posted a couple from Pittburgh on our page over the years.  They seem to be in often questionable condition.

A lot of Pittsburgh is in questionable condition.
