Fry Avenue

When traveling Westbound on 2nd Street, once you see the Urban Ocean Liner, go to its left (south) side immediately, and make a hard left into the PCPD Headquarters car park,. This will take you under the HQ, effectively cutting the intersection's corner and pointing you Southbound on Fry. The reverse operation can be carried out when traveling Northbound on Fry.
This Shortcut doesn't exactly lead you to Fry Avenue, but instead Paradise Square which Fry Avenue intersects. When traveling Westbound on Fry Avenue, when you see the Ocean Liner, turn right to the North side of the Ocean Liner, and head for the Parking Lot entrance with a Billboard at the top. You will drive through the building, cutting most of the intersection, however you will exit perpendicularly on Franke Avenue.

Billboard: When traveling Westbound into oncoming traffic (south of the Urban Ocean Liner) there is a ramp after the Fry Avenue intersection leading you to a Billboard.

Gameplay Strategies

Not much can be said about 2nd Street. There are no super jumps or split ramps along the road, and very few actual ramps or even billboards. The street virtually has nothing for a driver in a stunt run. 2nd Street is more of a passage way in this event, easily veering into more worthwhile locations to pull off stunts and points. In a race, 2nd Street can be dangerous because of the Urban Ocean Liner, and also because of traffic, which is tight and dense. It can be troublesome for the more inexperienced players. Better drivers will not admit any difficulties even though it is quite a tough road on the whole. Like with all other Downtown Paradise's roads, caution is advised.
