Hays Street and West Hays Street together run east-west in two fragments through western and south-central Woodland. They should not be confused with Hays Lane in eastern Woodland.

Hays Street becomes West Hays Street when it passes west of West Street.

West Hays Street

West Hays Street is just one block long and runs between Westway Drive and West Street. It is situated just south of West Marshall Avenue and just north of West Casa Linda Drive.

The western segment of Hays Street runs between West Street and Elm Street. Situated just south of Marshall Avenue and just north of Casa Linda Drive, it intersects Eunice Court/Eunice Drive, McKinley Avenue, and Cleveland Street. Its east end faces Hyman Field across Elm Street.
