Victory Road without sharp turns or steep grades. Main Street, in contrast, continues north-northwest through residential areas to descend a steep hill and end at Girard Avenue (560 North), where traffic heading north must turn west to reach 200 West or 300 West (US-89). Overall in its northernmost two and a half blocks, Main Street moves 110 address units west.

light rail has run in the median of Main Street from 700 South to South Temple since 1999, recapitulating streetcars that previously connected Main Street to the rest of downtown, to other neighborhoods, and to a few further-out destinations. South of 700 South, the modern TRAX system instead uses

A detached segment of Main Street also exists running from 5900 South to 6100 South (and beyond, in the form of a parking lot associated with the Murray

Columbus Street at this intersection, while city-maintained 300 North continues west and Main Street continues north but veers slightly westward, losing its alignment with the Salt Lake Meridian. A lot of traffic from the south turns onto Columbus Street (which is at a very
564:). On Capitol Hill, there are some addresses that are numbered as west of the Meridian even though they are east of Main Street; this is due to Main Street's turn to the northwest at 300 North, while the north–south numbering split follows Columbus Street north of this intersection.
