The street's steepness was unintentional. As with many other parts of Dunedin, and indeed New Zealand, streets were laid out in a grid pattern with no consideration for the terrain, usually by planners in London.

Just one more reason not to outsource engineering work

Maybe the consultants in London were crazy cyclists, or were playing a practical joke?

I like how on the Pittsburgh road, they didn't even bother to put in steps for the pedestrians, they just jutted out the sidewalk sections.

This leads me to conclude that you are sitting around and typing "crazy climbs in the world" into that Google search box. Perhaps an intervention is in order!
