| Florida 13 - Northbound |
| Florida 13, which follows the east bank of the St. John's River from Florida 16 near Orangedale north to U.S. 17 in downtown Jacksonville, crosses the river in downtown Jacksonville via the Acosta Bridge. In this photo, the concrete viaduct bridge carries an expressway-style Florida 13 over the St. John's River. Photo taken 08/23/04.
|
| Northbound Florida 13 approaches its northern terminus as the Acosta Bridge splits into two ramps after crossing the St. John's River. The left lane exits onto U.S. 17 southbound (Riverside Avenue), while the right two lanes connect to Broad Street, which in turn leads to Interstate 95. This marks the northern terminus of Florida 13. Photo taken 08/23/04.
|
| Florida 13 - Southbound |
| In the southbound direction, Florida 13 travels over the St. John's River via the Acosta Bridge. The left two lanes connect directly onto Interstate 95, while the right lane continues as Florida 13 along San Marco Road. This bridge acts as a collector of traffic from downtown Jacksonville onto the southbound Interstate 95 freeway. Use Interstate 95 south to connect to both U.S. 90 east to Jacksonville Beach and U.S. 1 south to St. Augustine. Photo taken 08/23/04.
|
| Southbound Florida 13 splits off the Acosta Bridge en route to Fruit Cove and Orangedale. Florida 13 is 15.382 miles long in Duval County and 17.294 miles long in St. Johns County. South of Florida 16, St. Johns County Route 13 continues along the east bank to serve Tocoi, Hastings, and Bunnell in Flagler County. Photo taken 08/23/04.
|
| Florida 17 - Northbound |
| Florida 17 is scenic highway that exits in two sections: (1) from Sebring north to Avon Park in Highlands County and (2) from Frostproof north to Haines City in Polk County. Both sections of Florida 17 are old alignments of U.S. 27 that are shown on some maps as Alternate U.S. 27. Here, Florida 17 (South 10th Street) meets Florida 544 and Polk County Route 544 (Scenic Highway). Use Florida 544 west to Winter Haven and Polk County Route 544 west to Lake Marion. Photo taken 11/16/03.
|
| South of Haines City and north of Lake Hamilton, Florida 17 passes through rural Polk County. Photo taken 11/16/03.
|
|
|
|
| Northbound Florida 17 (South 10th Street) approaches U.S. 17-92 (Hinson Avenue) in Haines City. Somewhat confusingly, Florida 17 intersects with U.S. 17, and several signs in this area attempt to clarify the difference between the state road and the U.S. highway. Use U.S. 17-92 southwest to Lake Alfred and northeast to Davenport. To return to U.S. 27, use U.S. 17-92 southwest. Photo taken 11/16/03.
|
| Florida 17 - Southbound |
| The northern section of Florida 17 reaches its southern terminus at U.S. 27-98 south of Frostproof and north of Avon Park at this intersection. Florida 17 will reemerge from U.S. 17 in Avon Park in Highlands County to the south. Photo taken 11/16/03.
|
| Southbound Florida 17 reaches its junction with U.S. 27-98. While Florida 17 is generally a two-lane, undivided highway, U.S. 27 is a major expressway route with at least four lanes and a median from Miami all the way to Lake County northwest of Orlando. U.S. 98 joins with U.S. 27 between Frostproof and DeSoto City in Highlands County. From there, U.S. 98 travels eastsoutheast to Palm Beach County. Photo taken 11/16/03.
|
| Florida 29 - Northbound |
| Florida 29 connects U.S. 27 with U.S. 41/Tamiami Trail. It is an important north-south route in the northwest Everglades region, and it is primarily rural. Florida 29 is 75.81 miles long, spread across three counties: Collier (44.884 miles), Hendry (18.498 miles), Glades (12.437 miles). This is the first shield along northbound Florida 29 after it departs U.S. 41 north of Everglades City in Collier County. Notably, Florida 29 is cosigned with Interstate 75, since the two-lane highway directly connects U.S. 41 and Interstate 75 east of Naples. Photo taken 12/31/03.
|
| Florida 29 - Southbound |
| Southbound Florida 29 enters the city of La Belle, the seat of Hendry County. Home to 4,210 people as of the 2000 Census, Hendry County is one of the less populated counties in Southern Florida. For more information, visit the official web page for Hendry County. There is no official site for La Belle. Photo taken 03/03/03.
|
| In northern Collier County, about six miles north of Immokalee, southbound Florida 29 intersects Florida 82. This intersection marks the eastern terminus of Florida 82, while Florida 29 continues south toward Immokalee and Everglades City. Florida 82 travels west to Fort Myers in Lee County. Photo taken 03/03/03.
|
| Immokalee is located at the intersection of Florida 29 and Collier County Route 846. From here, Florida 29 travels north toward U.S. 27 near Palmdale to Central Florida, while it continues south into the Big Cypress National Preserve and an interchange with Interstate 75/Alligator Alley at Exit 80. Photo taken 03/03/03.
|
| Southbound Florida 29 meets Collier County Route 890 (Lake Trafford Road) in north Immokalee. Lake Trafford Road is shown on older maps as Collier County Route 850, perhaps with the intention that it would someday connect to Lee County Route 850 in Lee County. However, it appears that connection will not be built anytime soon, so Lake Trafford Road is a short county road that travels west from Florida 29 to Lake Trafford, where it ends. Photo taken 03/03/03.
|
| Here, southbound Florida 29 reaches the end of the state road at the U.S. 41 intersection. Florida 29 has completed the journey from U.S. 27 near Palmdale south to this intersection north of Everglades City. The state road serves a variety of inland Florida communities, including La Belle and Immokalee. South of U.S. 41, Florida 29 becomes Collier County Route 29. The county road continues south into Everglades City before terminating in Chokoloskee. In this photo, southbound Florida 29 approaches its southern terminus with U.S. 41 before becoming Collier County Route 29. No end shield is present, and the county route is not acknowledged until after the intersection with U.S. 41. Photo taken 12/31/03.
|
| Florida 33 - Northbound |
| Florida 33 begins in downtown Lakeland and runs northward to end at Florida 50 in Groveland. At Florida 50, the state road becomes a county road. As a result, the Florida 33/Florida 50 merged section between Groveland and Mascotte in Lake County is signed as Lake County Route 33 northbound (Florida 50 westbound) and Florida 33 southbound (Florida 50 eastbound). The county road continues north to meet U.S. 27 near Okahumpka. In this picture, Massachusetts Avenue north approaches U.S. 90-98 and the southern terminus of Florida 33 in downtown Lakeland. Photo taken 11/19/03.
|
| To Interstate 4 east, use U.S. 92-98 (Memorial Boulevard) east and to Interstate 4 west, use U.S. 92-98 west. U.S. 92 generally follows the path of Interstate 4, while U.S. 98 follows an erratic, "stair-step" pattern through central Florida as it offers a lengthy diagonal route across the Florida peninsula between Perry and Palm Beach. Florida 33 starts its northerly journey at this intersection. Photo taken 11/19/03.
|
| Northbound Massachusetts Avenue reaches U.S. 92-98 in downtown Lakeland. Florida 33 begins its northerly journey straight ahead on Lakeland Hills Boulevard. Florida 33 is 43.48 miles long, passing through Polk County (27.223 miles) and Lake County (16.260 miles). Photo taken 11/19/03.
|
| Northbound Florida 33 approaches Florida 559 (Broadway) in Polk City. Florida 559 travels southeast to Interstate 4 and U.S. 92 in Auburndale. Photo taken 11/19/03.
|
| Florida 33 northbound reaches Florida 559 (Broadway) in Polk City. Note the use of an Interstate 4 trailblazer here. Photo taken 11/19/03.
|
| Florida 37 - Northbound |
| 
| Florida 37 travels from the northeast corner of Manatee County north over the point where the four counties of Hardee, Hillsborough, Manatee, and Polk meet. This shield is found along northbound in southwestern Polk County near Florida's "Four Corners." Photos taken 12/30/03.
|
| After entering Polk County, the first major intersection along northbound Florida 37 is Florida 674, an east-west route that crosses into Hillsborough County en route to Wimauma, Sun City Center, and Ruskin, with connections to U.S. 301, Interstate 75, and U.S. 41 (Florida 45). Photo taken 12/30/03.
|
| Northbound Florida 37 reaches the intersection with Florida 674 here. Photo taken 12/30/03.
|
| The state road then continues toward Lakeland, passing through the phosphate mining region of southwest Polk County. Here, northbound Florida 37 (Church Avenue) approaches Florida 60 (Canal Street) in Mulberry as the highway crosses a railroad track. Photo taken 12/30/03.
|
| Northbound Florida 37 (Church Avenue) reaches Florida 60 (Canal Street). To reach Lakeland, Interstate 4, and the Polk Parkway (Toll Florida 570), continue straight ahead along northbound Florida 37. Since U.S. 17-98 is secret Florida 35, Florida 37 fits well into the grid (along with Florida 39 to the west in Hillsborough County). Photo taken 12/30/03.
|
| Pasco County Route 41 - Northbound |
| Pasco County Route 41 parallels U.S. 301 between Zephyrhills and Dade City, then turns northwest to serve Blanton, Interstate 75, and Spring Lake (as Hernando County Route 41) before ending at U.S. 98 east of Brooksville. Since it connects to U.S. 98 in Dade City and again in Hernando County, Pasco County Route 41 is an alternative to U.S. 98 between these points. Here, northbound Pasco County Route 41 (21st Street) reaches Pasco County Route 578 (Suwanee Way) just north of the intersection of Pasco County Route 41 and Florida 52. Photo taken 12/03/03.
|
| Northbound Pasco County Route 41 approaches Lock Street in Dade City northwest of U.S. 98 and U.S. 301. This intersection is several blocks north of the Pasco County Route 578/Pasco County Route 41 intersection shown in the previous photobox. At this traffic signal, Pasco County Route 41 turns west onto Lock Street, which in turn becomes Blanton Road. Blanton Road makes a turn north a mile or so west of this intersection. Note the use of the "To Interstate 75" trailblazer here. Photo taken 12/03/03.
|
| Florida 52 - Eastbound |
| In Pasco County north of Tampa, Florida 52 connects Bayonet Point on the coast (Junction U.S. 19/Florida 55) with Dade City (Junction U.S. 98-301), a distance of 33.403 miles. West of Dade City, eastbound Florida 52 makes a right turn at this intersection, while Pasco County Route 41 continues north toward Blanton, Interstate 75, and Spring Lake. Photo taken 12/03/03.
|
| Florida 82 - Westbound |
| Florida 82 is a 29.90 mile highway linking downtown Fort Myers with Lehigh Acres and Immokalee (via Florida 29). In the downtown Fort Myers area Florida 82 is also referred to as Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard (formerly Anderson Avenue). In this photo Florida 82 approaches Monroe Street. Motorists can access northbound U.S. 41 via Monroe Street northwestward to Main Street. Photo taken 01/02/07.
|
| Florida 82 approaches its western terminus and the beginning of Florida 867 (McGregor Boulevard) south. A pedestrian walkway crosses over Florida 82 linking the Suntrust building with a parking garage located south of the route. Beyond that lies the Five Points intersection. Photo taken 01/02/07.
|
| Florida 82 terminates at the Five Points intersection with U.S. 41, Business U.S. 41, Florida 80 and Florida 867. Initially named for five roads that converged at this point, this interchange/intersection hybrid regulates movement between the five numbered routes. Since turns onto U.S. 41 are not permitted, trailblazers for the U.S. highway are used to guide motorists. Photo taken 01/02/07.
|
| The Eastern Florida 84 - Eastbound |
| Through Plantation and Davie, Florida 84 is the designation for the Interstate 595 (Port Everglades Expressway) frontage road. The eastbound lanes lie south of Interstate 595, while the westbound lanes lie north of Interstate 595. Florida 84 is very well-signed along the frontage road, and its signs are coupled with trailblazers for Interstate 595 and Interstate 75 (which carries the Port Everglades Expressway west to Davie and U.S. 27, where it becomes the Alligator Alley). In this picture, eastbound Florida 84 reaches the intersection with Florida 817 (University Drive). With the aid of a U-turn, traffic can also connect to westbound Florida 84 as shown by the diagrammatical sign. Photo taken 12/28/03.
|
| The Eastern Florida 84 - Westbound |
| Florida 84 used to run the length of the Florida Peninsula across the Everglades Swamp via what is now Interstate 75 and the Alligator Alley. With the completion of the Interstate highway in the early 1990s, Florida 84 has three distinct components: its routing in Naples, on the Gulf Coast; as a frontage road along Interstate 595 between Interstate 75 and Interstate 95; and finally as a separate route connecting with U.S. 1. This photo shows westbound Florida 84 approaching Junction Interstate 95 and Florida's Turnpike; note the use of an overlay for the Florida 84 shield. Photo taken 1/06/01.
|
| 
| Westbound Florida 84 reaches its junction with Interstate 95. Florida 84 remains in Broward County for 28.452 miles. From here, Florida 84 functions more as a frontage road for Interstate 595 as opposed to being its own road. Note the addition of a street name for Florida 84 in the newer photo: Marina Mile Boulevard. Photos taken 12/26/99 and 12/28/03. |
| Shortly after the interchange with Interstate 95, Florida 84 reaches a major interchange with U.S. 441 (Florida 7), Florida's Turnpike (Florida 91), and Interstate 595 (Port Everglades Expressway). Florida 84 becomes the frontage road for Interstate 595 and Interstate 75 from here west to Weston near the U.S. 27 interchange. Photo taken 12/28/03. |
| Further west, Florida 84 acts as a fully functional frontage road to Interstate 595. Here, Florida 84 westbound approaches Pine Island Road. After this intersection, Florida 84 has slip ramps that connect the frontage road onto Interstate 595, which in turn connects to Interstate 75 and Toll Florida 869/Sawgrass Expressway. Photo taken 12/28/03. |
| Collier County Route 94 - Eastbound |
| Shown on many maps as signed and paved, neither Collier County Route 94 nor Monroe County Route 94 south of Monroe Station are in that condition. No signs for Collier County Route 94 are posted on northbound or southbound U.S. 41, and the road is unpaved and lined with gravel. Neither Collier County Route 94 nor Monroe County Route 94 were ever part of former U.S. 94, which was decommissioned in 1950 in favor of U.S. 41. Back to the present day, Collier County Route 94 chooses to remain south of current U.S. 41. This picture shows the gravel road just south of U.S. 41/Monroe Station. Photo taken 12/31/03. |
| Florida 115 |
| Florida 115 exists in two parts, with a short section secretly merged with Interstate 95 north of downtown Jacksonville. The northern portion connects Callahan (Junction U.S. 1-23/Kings Road) with downtown Jacksonville via Lem Turner Road, and this section ends at the interchange with Interstate 95 at Exit 356 (shown here). Photo taken 08/23/04. |
| Here, southbound Florida 115 changes into Florida 117 at Carrollton Road. Florida 117 continues southeast from this point straight ahead along Norwood Avenue. Florida 115 reemerges a few miles south at Exit 354, following Alternate U.S. 1 east through downtown Jacksonville and past U.S. 17/Florida 5 (Main Street). From there, Florida 115 follows Alternate U.S. 1/Hart Bridge Expressway southbound and Alternate U.S. 90/Arlington Expressway east over the St. Johns River. Florida 115 then turns south on Southside Boulevard, crossing U.S. 90/Florida 212 (Beach Boulevard) and Florida 202/Butler Boulevard. Florida 115 reaches its southern terminus at U.S. 1/Florida 5 near Interstate 95/295 interchange and the Avenues shopping center. Photo taken 08/23/04. |
| Bay County 385 |
| Bay County 385 begins at the intersection of Frankford Avenue and West 9th Street from U.S. 98 Business. The county road quickly approaches Bay County 28 (West 11th Street). Photo taken 08/03/08. |
| Florida 389 |
| Florida 389's first shield is posted with a begin state maintenance sign along East Avenue north of U.S. 98 Business (East 5th Street) in Panama City. The state road continues 3.03 miles to junction U.S. 231 at Bay County 389 in Springfield. Photo taken 08/03/08. |
| Bevier Road |
| Bevier Road, which was signed as Seminole County 425 for a short time before sign crews realized the error, northbound on the approach to Florida 46 at Randyard Road. Florida 46 travels west to the Seminole Town Center mall and junction Interstate 4 and east to U.S. 17-92 (French Avenue) in historic downtown Sanford. Photo taken 02/29/08. |
| Bevier Road was constructed between 2006-08 on a new four-lane alignment west of Airport Boulevard (Seminole County 425). Bevier Road travels northward from the Airport Boulevard intersection with Country Club Drive on a new facility. The divided highway replaces the older Seminole County 425 routing to the east as the main through route. Photo taken 02/29/08. |
| Osceola County 530 |
| Osceola County 530 (Boggy Creek Road) travels northeast from Osceola Parkway (Osceola County 522) to the Orange County line where it meets the Orange County version Boggy Creek Road. Boggy Creek Road north heads 1.3 miles to Exit 17 of the Central Florida Greeneway and two miles to the interchange with Orlando International Airport (MCO) South Access Road. Photo taken 08/25/07. |
| 
| An end shield for Osceola County 522 resides at the Osceola County 530 intersection with Orange County's Boggy Creek Road. Officially all of Boggy Creek Road within Osceola County is a part of County 530, not 522, so the shield is incorrect. Travelers turning north will reach Orlando International Airport in five miles; Osceola County 530 east continues to meander eastward near the county line to junction Osceola County 15 (Narcoosee Road). Photos taken 08/25/07. |
| The final 1.75 miles of Osceola County 530 (Boggy Creek Road) straddle the Orange County line through the Fells Cove community. Pictured here is a guide sign for the eastern terminus at Osceola County 15 (Narcoosee Road). Photo taken 08/25/07. |
| 
| Osceola County 530 ends at Osceola County 15 (Narcoosee Road) on the county line. Osceola County 15 south leads to Narcoosee, Runnymeade, and eastern reaches of St. Cloud. Orange County 15 continues Narcoosee Road northward to the high-end sprawl of Lake Nona, Village Walk, and Eagle Creek, meeting Florida 417 Toll at Exit 22. Photos taken 08/25/07. |
| Florida 808 |
| Florida 808 follows Glades Road from U.S. 441/Florida 7 near Bocawoods east to U.S. 1 in Boca Raton. The state road serves as a primary arterial, connecting U.S. 441, Florida's Turnpike, Interstate 95, and U.S. 1. Between Interstate 95 and Florida's Turnpike, westbound Florida 808 approaches Florida 845 (Jog Road northbound and Powerline Road southbound). Photo taken 12/28/03. |
| To Florida's Turnpike, continue west on Florida 845. The left lane turns south onto Florida 845 (Powerline Jog Road), crossing into Broward County and the city of Deerfield Beach. The right lane turns north onto Florida 845 en route to Sun Valley. Photo taken 12/28/03. |
| A Florida 808 reassurance shield is located immediately after the Florida 845 intersection. Photo taken 12/28/03. |
| The next major intersection along westbound Florida 808 (Glades Road) is the junction with Florida's Turnpike. Normally for every three roads that Interstate 95 interchanges, Florida's Turnpike only interchanges with one. Florida 808 is one such road, as it has access to both superhighways. Here, the access road from Florida 808 to Florida's Turnpike has toll booths for those traveling southbound and no toll for those heading northbound. Photo taken 12/28/03. |
| Lee County Route 865 |
| Eastbound Lee County Route 865 follows Bonita Beach Road as it passes U.S. 41 (Tamiami Trail) and then turns north toward Fort Myers. Photo taken 01/02/04. |
| Florida 867 |
| Through Fort Myers, Florida 867 follows McGregor Boulevard from downtown south toward Sanibel Island. Photo taken 01/02/04. |
| Southbound Florida 867 (McGregor Boulevard) approaches its half-diamond interchange with Lee County Route 884 (Colonial Boulevard). Photo taken 01/02/04. |
| A left turn from southbound Florida 867 connects McGregor Boulevard to Lee County Route 884 (Colonial Boulevard) eastbound. Motorists wishing to access the tolled Mid-Point Memorial Bridge over the Caloosahatchee River to the west must make a series of left hand turns to get to westbound Lee County Route 884. Photo taken 01/02/04. |
| Southbound Florida 867 (McGregor Boulevard) reaches Florida 865 (San Carlos Boulevard) south, Lee County Route 865 (Gladiolus Drive) east, and Lee County Route 867 (McGregor Boulevard) southwest in Fort Myers just east of Sanibel Island. Photo taken 01/02/04. |
| Lee County Route 867 |
| Florida 867 and Lee County Route 867 follow McGregor Boulevard southwest from Fort Myers to the southern terminus at Lee County Route 869 (Summerlin Road) in Truckland. Photo taken 01/02/04. |
| Lee County Route 869 |
| Eastbound Lee County Route 869 (Summerlin Road) reaches Florida 865 (San Carlos Boulevard) north and Lee County Route 865 (San Carlos Boulevard) south. Photo taken 01/02/04. |
| Westbound Lee County Route 869 approaches the toll bridge to Sanibel Island. The bridge spans San Carlos Bay, which connects the exclusive island to the mainland. Opened in 1963, this drawbridge has raised some controversy as a result of the recent increase in tolls, to $6 per roundtrip. The bridge toll is collected westbound only. For more information, visit LeeWay Information (Lee County Department of Transportation). Lee County Route 869 continues west after crossing the bridge onto Sanibel Island. Photo taken 01/02/04. |
| Lake Mary Boulevard |
 |
Improvements were made to the Lake Mary Boulevard intersection with the Interstate 4 eastbound on-ramp in winter 2008. Following that signal is the congested intersection with Lake Emma Road south and Primera Boulevard north. Lake Emma serves a collection of office parks, shopping centers, and apartment complexes as it leads south parallel to Interstate 4. Primera Boulevard continues the road north through similar environs. Photo taken 04/29/08. |
| Kissimmee |
| Ruby Avenue southeast at Broadway Avenue in downtown Kissimmee. Photo taken 08/26/07. |
| 
| Broadway Avenue (former U.S. 17-92) northeast between Ruby Avenue and Darlington Avenue in downtown Kissimmee. Photos taken 08/26/07. |
| Broadway Avenue next intersects Monument Avenue, so named for the nearby Monument of States. Photo taken 08/26/07. |
| Continuing north on Broadway Avenue toward Dakin Avenue in downtown Kissimmee. Photo taken 08/26/07. |
| The Monument of States resides on the southwest corner of Monument Avenue and Johnston Street outside of the Kissimmee central business district. Towering to around three stories tall, the structure includes stones, fossils, and other artifacts donated from all 50 states and various countries from around the world. Photo taken 08/26/07. |
| Monument Avenue northwest at Broadway Avenue (former U.S. 17-92) in downtown Kissimmee. Broadway Avenue turns into Main Street three blocks to the east. The Monument of States lies two blocks to the south at Johnston Street. Photo taken 08/26/07. |
| Main Street takes over from Broadway Avenue at the intersection with Drury Avenue north and Neptune Road east. Neptune Road provides an alternate route to St. Cloud by the north shore of Lake Tohopekaliga. Osceola County 525 follows the road east from its intersection with Lakeshore Boulevard into St. Cloud. Photo taken 08/26/07. |
| Main Street continues north from Broadway Avenue and Neptune Road to this signalized intersection with Oak Street. Oak Street serves Osceola Regional Medical Center to the west. Photo taken 08/26/07. |
| Four U.S. highways enter the intersection of Main and Vine Streets north of downtown Kissimmee. U.S. 17-92-441 enter from Orange Blossom Trail to the north; U.S. 17-92-192 follow Vine Street west their separation at Bermuda Avenue; U.S. 192-441 combine along Vine Street east through to the city line en route to St. Cloud. Photo taken 08/26/07. |
