Hmmm.... good point, WindWalker. I forgot that where they pass "to the left" the steeringwheel is on the RIGHT! So... they're still guessing about where the edge is. I'd rather have the driver on the LEFT when passing to the left with those drop-offs! :shock:

Well, you gotta admit... It does sort of look like it's all made up of nothing but "DEAD MAN'S CURVES".

Seems to be just a bit of discrepancy about the origin of the name, as well as the frequency of fatal accidents, but here is some interesting info:

Wow!
Wow!!!! Wow!!!!!!!! Thanks - A Lot!!!!! I used to love Highway 1 in California when I was young. There used to be a great restaurant at Big Sur called Nepenthe. I don't know if it's still there. The first time I was on that road I was hitch hiking and the driver kept driving on the wrong side of the road when he went around the curves, and I thought... This is soooo beautiful, if I die here I will die in the most beautiful place I have ever seen. In those days I didn't say much. I didn't say anything. I just enjoyed it. I would so love to be able to do it all again! Thanks again for these pictures... and the comments.
