A Route 2 is a highwaythat runs from Boston across Massaschusetts, straight through [[North Adams]] and the middle of campus, over [[Petersburg Pass]], through [[Troy]] to [[Albany]] and points west. The portion in Williamstown is also known as Main Street (though ''West'' Main Street refers to the street that you'd take if you went due west at the [[town green]], instead of following Route 2 south along [[Route 7]]).
It runs through campus, from East to WestSee also [[the logic behind road numbers]] and [[route/highway argument]].
