[...] È Baldwin Street a Dunedin (Nuova Zelanda), conosciuta per essere la strada più ripida del mondo. È così ripida che la pavimentazione è in cemento, perché l’asfalto nelle giornate più calde scivolerebbe giù! [fonte] [...]

Please. There are steeper streets here in San Francisco. Parts of Hyde street are over 21 degrees. Many streets are over 19 degrees.

But they are talking about «degrees», we had 45 PERCENT. So I asked Mr Google and here is the solution:

100% = 45° => 1% = 0,45° —-> so the the street on the acores is 20.25 degrees. Sorry for the confusion )

wow helena, tks for sharing that. If that is really true, somebody needs to correct the guys from the “Organization of Steep Slopes”. Can anyone verify the 45-degree incline?
