The image shows an overhead view of an intersection with crosswalk  lines. The left-right street is labeled Main Street and the up-down street is labeled Cross Street. The Main Street approach leg on the right side is labeled as the approach of interest. The point is that 'main' street does not refer to the street with the higher traffic volume, but rather the street that on which the approach leg of interest lies.
