Second Street serves as a commercial street for the seven businesses between Main Street and West Woodman Street, as well as traffic to and from the school. This street has sidewalks on the west side of the street. The Traffic Study found the main issue with the intersection of Second Street and Main Street is the west leg has a 90-degree curve very close to the intersection. This intersection is currently under a side street stop control (Second Street) with no exclusive turn lanes designated. Outside of the school periods,traffic volumes are generally light at this intersection. Vehicles on the northbound leg at the stop sign have decent sight lines for both approaches, but westbound vehicles have poor sight lines making it potentially dangerous to turn left onto Second Street. This issue is exacerbated when vehicles coming from the north/west travel at higher speeds around the curve. It was observed that a number of vehicles coming from the north/west cross over the centerline as they head southeast around the curve.
