, between 20th and 22nd, is actually more crooked than Lombard. To demonstrate this, Public Works compared old construction drawings of the two streets.

Still, only Lombard Street draws a steady stream of cars willing to wait before descending the brick road — at a maximum of five miles per hour. In 2019, the San Francisco Municipal Transportation Authority reported that cars waitedto go down on busy days. That same year, Governor Gavin Newsom vetoed a bill that would have levied a fee for non-residents to use the road. He said everyone should have access to the experience with no cost barrier.
Commenting on the drive down,"California's Gold" host Huell Howser called it"almost anticlimactic, because the truth of the matter is the whole thing is over very quickly." I agree: When I took the drive on a weekday, the traffic was thin and driving down from the top took just a minute or two. But Howser also said it’s worth it to try once:"It’s an experience. It’s windy. It’s crooked. And we did it." I'm glad I did, too.
