Jalan Baldwin, Dunedin di New Zealand telah dikategorikan sebagai jalan yang tercondong didunia. Ia terletak dikawasan perumahan North East Valley, 3.5 km arah timur laut dari pusat bandar Dunedin.
Info dari wikipedia:
A short straight street a little under 350 metres (1,150 ft) long,
Baldwin Street runs east from the valley of the Lindsay Creek up the
side of Signal Hill towards Opoho, rising from 30 m (98 ft) above sea level at its junction with North Road to 100 m (330 ft) above sea level at the top,
an average slope of slightly more than 1:5. Its lower reaches are only
moderately steep, and the surface is asphalt, but the upper reaches of
this cul-de-sac are far steeper, and surfaced in concrete (200 m (660 ft) long), for ease of maintenance (bitumen—in
either chip seal or asphalt—would flow down the slope on a warm day)
and for safety in Dunedin's frosty winters. At its maximum, the slope of
Baldwin Street is about 1:2.86 (19° or 35%). That is, for every 2.86
metres travelled horizontally, the elevation changes by 1 metre.
