- Many residents today may not recall the crazy-quilt "dog leg" intersection of John, Bond and Main streets, or

A segment of Dorr Street now forms the transverse part of the dogleg at Frank's cutacross.

The crooked stretch of the street is one-way; it is paved in red brick and runs for about 125.7 meters if laid out straight. - http://www.visitacity.com/en/san-francisco/attractions/lomba...

The speed limit on the crooked stretch of the street is 5mph and it lasts for about a quarter of a mile. - http://www.10minutetravel.com/article-detail.php?aid=602

The crooked stretch of the street is landscaped with an incredible amount of hydrangeas - http://trinknitty.blogspot.com/2012/11/crookedest-street-and...

Krzywe Kolo jest ulica zalamana pod katem 90 stopni - to jest wyjatkowo ostry "curve"
curve w moim rozumieniu to zaokraglenie o wiele mniej dramatyczne, lagodne - wiekszosc "normalnych" ulic jest curved i nic w tym dziwnego, oczywiscie poza Nowym Jorkiem - tam, datrek potwierdzi :), jest ich niewiele
