That's not on a main road. Zoom out a bit, the main roads are the ones leading to other villages, named after those villages (or in the case of Ulm a city in that direction).
neither
Didn't check the rest
Those are residential roads. This a view of the Niederstotzingen school from the road it's on, the gymnasium is on the other side. Look up and down the road, there's residential buildings there. Looking at the signage (or rather lack thereof), it's two-way. No lane markings though small roads just don't have them, you slow down and make sure to not shear off your side mirrors with the side mirrors of oncoming traffic. The little shack with a sign with an H is a bus stop. Only seems to be served by one bus line (at least I can't find more), here's the schelude. It connects to two train stations (including thie Niederstotzingen one) roughly every 30 minutes. Frankly speaking you can walk from there you'll be faster than waiting for the next bus.
Niederstotzingen is classed as a city btw, almost 5k inhabitants. It's not really a size thing in Germany though and nowadays the title doesn't have any legal meaning, city rights were granted by Kaiser Sigismund in 1430, meaning it served as the local trade hub or such. Congratulations, thanks to wikipedia I know now more about a tiny city I don't care about in a state I don't care for :)
Is Bergstrabe one way? Does it connect to more than just the school? That's a main road. Does it have speed bumps? It is not a highway which was mentioned in the first reply when someone asked if US schools are on a highway.
There are residential houses on the same road as American rural schools. Look at the map of Comer elementary which is what this entire thread is about.
No it isn't:
And yes you also see residential buildings on main roads. The reason this is a residential and not main road is due to its size and position away from through-traffic. It's a road where you have a quick look and then just cross, main roads are of the "eh I can look but I probably need to get to a crossing to get across" territory.
And no there's no speed bumps why would there if the road is narrow enough and people naturally drive slow enough, there's no through traffic, the residents don't race on it, etc.
If you want to use the definition of a main road being one that goes directly from one town to another that's fine. In the US that's called a highway.
No matter what you call it, the larger road that goes near a school is the same in Germany and the US. Both have two way traffic.
Given that it is residential that connects to two other roads, it has through traffic. It would need to be a dead end to not have through traffic. The road isn't so narrow that busses can't pass each other. It's why I linked one school that has a labeled public bus stop.
