Route 6 West approaching the Bear Mountain Bridge has to be the most twisty, serpentine windy road I've ever been on, and to top it off, it is on the edge of a mountain cliff overlooking the Hudson River. Locals have dubbed it the "Goat Trail."
The Goat Trail starts northwest of Peekskill, NY and culminates at the Bear Mountain Bridge, which joins the far northwest corner of Westchester to southeast Orange County. The mountain it is carved into has been known since colonial times as "Anthony's Nose." The road itself is over 400 feet above the river.
How twisty is this road? Click on the video. This is not for people with vertigo.

You have convinced me that Bear Mountain Road is the windiest road. You make a good salesperson!
What about that road in San Francisco, thats pretty windy also. We may not have windy roads here in Manhattan but some of them are very perilous to cross during rush hour traffic.
vertigo or not, I dont think i would be interested in driving on that road when I just eat a big breakfast.
