I am currently standing on a strip of road, but not just any strip of road. THIS is the STEEPEST road in the WORLD!
Before you start guessing, no, it is not Baldwin street in New Zealand. This one is actually right here in my backyard! This is Canton Avenue located in the Beechview neighborhood of Pittsburgh. I will give you all the details you need in order to find this place and what rules to follow if you’d like to visit and drive up yourself at the end of the video.
So, this road… What makes it the Steepest? Well, this road has a grade of 37%, 2% higher than Baldwin Street in New Zealand, which is widely known as the steepest road in the world… You may be wondering what does the grade mean? A 37% grade means that for every 100 feet, elevation goes up 37 feet. That is steeper than the banking at any race track I’m aware of...
Canton Ave is slowing becoming internationally known with more and more people coming to visit, drive up, or just stare at it everyday! Audi actually used this strip of road to make a commercial showcasing just how capable their Quattro platform really is.
Locally, is well-known as it forms part of bike races where bikers try and climb this hill on their bikes. Some succeed, but many don’t make it! And just like them, I will also attempt to ride it all the way to the top! For the job i’ve enrolled Xena, our trusted family-mobile
So, if you want to drive up the STEEPEST road in the world,
come to Canton Avenue in the Beechview neighborhood of Pittsburgh Pennsylvania!
