Lombard Street, which runs from the Presidio east through Cow Hollow and Telegraph Hill through to The Embarcadero, is best known for a one-way section on Russian Hill between Hyde and Leavenworth Streets, which with eight sharp switchbacks, has earned the distinction of being the "croookedest street in the world." The red-paved crooked section, which runs east 400-meters long downhill with a 5 mile-per-hour speed limit, was originally proposed by property owner Carl Henry to reduce the hill's natural 27% grade and instituted in 1922.
