hi, everyone:-)

Could you tell me what's the correct name of a winding road that leads to the mountain top?

Often the passengers in the bus will feel dizzy, while a bus is circling around on the way to the top.  How should I call it in english?

Is it a winding moutain road, or a hillside road, or else?

Thanks  a million~!

Thanks for your replies!!Smile [:)]

By the way: How about "hillside road"?

If it's not correct, what does "hillside road" refers to?

Thanks again!

If it's a mountain, I wouldn't tend to use 'hillside road.'
