The most likely reason for this odd ranking where second beats first is that many towns have a “Main Street” or maybe even “Park Street” as their primary thoroughfare, replacing what might otherwise be called 1st Street — but a town will almost always have a 2nd Street. So, if the address you’re plugging into your GPS is on 2nd Street, make sure it’s the right one.
