English translation:"many"
Explanation:
"The road is dark with many twists and turns."
=
الطريق مظلمة و ملتوية بتواتر عالِ


To mention a sequence, rate, or frequency is to translate the sentence very literally. It comes across awkwardly.

When talking about a treacherous road, "twists and turns" is a common phrase.
