Traffic Class about E. Gaines Street

November 17th, 2023 by

One of the most confusing areas of Monticello Traffic, aside from the town Square, is E. Gaines St.

IMG_2241When you leave the Square, on E. Gaines St., it is one-lane traffic, with parking spaces on both sides of the street.

IMG_2238When it crosses, Gabbert Street, at the chamber of commerce, THEN it becomes a two-lane highway, without parking places.
