There are a number of Dead Man’s Curves worldwide.

The one Jan and Dean referred to is on Sunset — and the song refers to “starting on Doheny” which crosses Sunset.

From Wikipedia:
A stretch of Sunset Boulevard in Los Angeles was memorialized by Jan and Dean in the song “Dead Man’s Curve.” It is located near the Bel Air estates north of UCLA’s Drake Stadium. While an accident involving voice actor Mel Blanc prompted safety improvement, the curve remains today
