The residents of Baldwin Street do not have to worry only about floods. However the city has never tried to correct the error made with Baldwin Street and today Dunedin residents are proud of her appearance. Baldwin Street is located in Dunedin, New Zealand. With a length of 359 meters, the road rises to a height of almost 80 meters, which was the reason to be found in the Guinness Book of Records as the steepest street in a settlement. This 350-meter Baldwin Street starts with a moderate tilt and then steeply rising. The greatest slope is about 1: 2.86 (20 degrees or 38%) and that would mean that every 2.86 meters height grows one meter. Unusually steep road is the result of bad planning. The street was designed by specialists in London, who had no idea of the topography of the city. This led to the construction of a number of streets that are on extremely steep hills
