Best Answer

Canton Avenue in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania claims a 37% grade.

Despite this steepness, the generally accepted answer is Baldwin Street, Dunedin, New Zealand rises in a ratio of 1 in 2.86 (a 35% percentage grade or a 19.3 degree angle) The reason that Baldwin Street is considered more reliable is that it runs a much longer distance.
