A video showcasing one of the world's narrowest roads has gone viral on social media, capturing widespread attention.

Shared on Instagram, the post is captioned "World’s narrowest road." The clip shows a man at the entrance and a woman on the opposite side, with a traffic signal at the start of the lane. Due to its extreme narrowness, two people cannot pass each other; hence, the signal is crucial for traffic management.

Another user, Megan Homme, also posted a video of the same road, captioning it, “First stop in Prague,” and describing it as “the narrowest street in Prague with its traffic light.”

Located in Prague’s oldest district, Mala Strana, this road measures just 32 feet in length and a mere 19 inches in width. To prevent traffic jams, two traffic lights are positioned at either end. Commuters must press a button and wait for the green signal before proceeding, as ignoring the signal could leave them stuck.

The viral video has received numerous likes and comments, with many users noting that the roads in India are often narrower. One commenter humorously invited others to "Come to India" to experience even tighter streets.
