Lombard Street – the “crookedest street in the world” was created so that horses could pull heavy carriges up the very steep hill. The crooked bit is only one block but spectacular.


Cable car turning around. Cable cars were also created in SF to deal with the steep hills. The inventor came up with the idea after witnessing an horrific accident where a horse pulling a cart slipped on ice and crashed to the bottom of the hill.
