John Bowen Way is a street approximately 50 feet long that connects Center Street to Broad Street in Winder, Georgia. It is the shortest street in the U.S. with a traffic light. Although McKinley Street in Bellefontaine, Ohio, is listed as the Shortest Street in the U.S., I've visited and measured both, and John Bowen Way is shorter.
