Traffic Class about E. Gaines Street

November 17th, 2023 by Joe Burgess

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

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

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