Main Street - Independence, Oregon Key Crossing
From the mini-plaza shown on the previous page, this is the view across Main Street to Taylor's Fountain, a popular stop in Independence. The heaviest traffic pattern at this T-intersection is the turn movement from the west leg of Highway 51 on Monmouth Street (left) to the north leg on Main Street (right). The two large curb extensions that anchor this crossing do a fine job of slowing traffic, and allowing approaching vehicles to spot pedestrians as they are entering the crosswalk.
