This is a really wide Main Street! You won't have to fight traffic here, though, as it is mostly deserted these days and you may be the only car driving on it (we were!). There is a firestation and Post Office on Main, and a couple of other businesses that appear to be open. The population was listed as 319 in the 2020 census.
Roadside tip:
Widest Main Street in the USA
Marshall, Oklahoma, population now only 272 (in 2022), has the distinction of having the widest Main Street in the United States. It's just six feet short of being as wide as a football field.
[Steve Davis, 05/20/2022]
Built wide enough for a team of mules to make a U-turn. Old photos show it accommodating 16 cars driven side-by-side. The street is only four blocks long and your vehicle might be the only one on it; the town is mostly empty.
