I guess SF lied when they said Lombard was the crookedest street in the world. The one from the meme is clearly more crooked. Also, when was that picture taken? There's usually a huge line of tourist cars driving down that street. I've never seen it with only 2 cars.

I thought they blocked it to only local traffic after residents complained?

Oh, maybe? I haven't been back to SF in over a decade. I'm kind of afraid to go back, because I love that city, and the things I read about it on the internet these days make it seem like it has deteriorated dramatically since I was there last.

Going by the memory of my 1980 edition of the Guinness book of world records, it was the number of hairpin turns that made it the crookedest street. There could also be a difference between a street and a road.
