This kind of road is reasonably common in Italy: https://www.google.com/maps/@45.8513921,11.3773108,3a,75y,248.99h,81.29t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sdCCAt03gmqiSfD9fS

I'm not ashamed to admit that it scared the crap out of me, and my wife (who I completely trust) was driving.
- donretag 7y agoWhat's wrong with that road? Seems just like your standard mountain pass road to me. :) Those switchbacks are tight, so trucks are probably not allowed on that road. I lived somewhat close to there, but not close enough to know that exact area. I am now an avid road cyclist that loves to do big climbs. That road is not even that bad https://veloviewer.com/segments/4090708 https://veloviewer.com/segments/4090708 I do similar climbs here in California.
- davidw 7y agoIt's super tight and super cliffy, and it would be excellent on a road bike if you don't mind heights. I do, though. I don't think I've seen anything in California quite that sketchy. Maybe this one because it's really narrow: https://www.google.com/maps/@37.8803894,-120.2966256,3a,90y,44.34h,62.88t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1svBTSxmzjHZMUZC4Sovi89A!2e0!7i3328!8i1664!5m1!1e4 https://www.google.com/maps/@37.8803894,-120.2966256,3a,90y,... That would also make for a great ride.
