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 meter.</div><br><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjRNOGFURcwgTF4o_1kooDTpmzdzSHazGuZoAvh5QIzrZRf5NgyUID61xDHXcg5wINzcP04D1yah-jvQQDnmWzLVUymvNgs4n2UJwfGruzsZg7ZlCmmmsFxn_Cuxo4hQwnPm5OGg-q-EpBu/s1600/BaldwinStreet24.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="478" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjRNOGFURcwgTF4o_1kooDTpmzdzSHazGuZoAvh5QIzrZRf5NgyUID61xDHXcg5wINzcP04D1yah-jvQQDnmWzLVUymvNgs4n2UJwfGruzsZg7ZlCmmmsFxn_Cuxo4hQwnPm5OGg-q-EpBu/s640/BaldwinStreet24.jpg" style="cursor: move;" width="640"></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhSVHpV0lnU23dcgSp7QM0xk5PgKGtMk4M97-xgXff6rsyOC81KbKmFGpYKssu2UxTZsmaZJ4OCCTiVN33vPlqmYwS2Sl6oiRomwJE_CvreKtHOfPo-yBuwNOcmgPBVWTPUI7S3_SVVa4_Q/s1600/259371344_6284e0ca49_b.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="430" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhSVHpV0lnU23dcgSp7QM0xk5PgKGtMk4M97-xgXff6rsyOC81KbKmFGpYKssu2UxTZsmaZJ4OCCTiVN33vPlqmYwS2Sl6oiRomwJE_CvreKtHOfPo-yBuwNOcmgPBVWTPUI7S3_SVVa4_Q/s640/259371344_6284e0ca49_b.jpg" width="640"></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br></div><a href="http://aibob.blogspot.com/2011/10/baldwin-street-steepest-street-in-world.html#more">Click to read more »</a>
