It would seem to make sense that many "first streets" are called "main street".
However, if only a *few* "first streets" exist, it would be enough to bring
the count of "main streets" below that of "second streets".  Given that there
is a "second street" for every "third", but not necessarily a "third" for
every "second", it seems quite plausible that "second street" is the most
common.
