Third Street (also spelled 3rd Street) becomes Palm Avenue when it passes north of Beamer Street and becomes Coloma Way when it passes south of Granada Drive. Together, these three streets form a thoroughfare from the northern border of Woodland all the way beyond the south edge of town. Third Street is the middle segment of this thoroughfare.
In order from north to south between Beamer Street and Granada Drive, 3rd Street intersects all of the following:
- Charlie Harper Alley (which heads west only from 3rd Street)
- Clover Street
- Alan Harper Alley (west only)
- North Street
- Court Street
- Dead Cat Alley
- Main Street
- Dog Gone Alley
- Lincoln Avenue
- Oak Avenue
- Cross Street
- Walden Schmidt Alley (west only)
- Pendegast Street
- Bartlett Avenue (west only)
- Marshall Avenue
- Hays Street (west only)
Along the way, it passes by the Yolo County Public Defender's Office, the Yolo County Probation Department, U.S. Post Office, the Woodland Daily Democrat office, Savory Café, and Thai Pepper.
