Why is the road leading to the top of a hill winding?
Generally, the roads on hills and mountains follow the path of least effort. Some were laid on old paths used by animals or livestock. The critters usually seek the path from A to B that involves the minimum work, avoiding the steep rises that more direct routes would entail. The principle is valid for vehicles as well. With winding roads that wend their way slowly up the hillside, there is less stress on the engines when going up and on the brakes during the descent. It involves greater distance, but less strenuous travel. For fairly steep hills, the coefficient of friction can become a significant factor. Any slope of 45 degrees or steeper is impossible to climb with vehicles that depend solely on friction, e.g., tires, for traction.
