Not always the case. Example US 219 in NC, also known as the "tail of the dragon". Multi twisty road that is widely know amongst the motorcycle crowd. I'm sure there are other examples people will post.
Generally speaking you are correct though.
It is a twisty, steep road, but it is maintained. We have lots of those out here in the west. You just have to drive it as what it is. Just came down a couple of 7% grades in the last several days and ones with the 25 mph curves. Still, they are good roads that are well maintained. I got down to first gear to get adequate engine braking a couple of times.
