At Fort Meade, it joins with US98, which follows it northward until Bartow, while US98 goes northwest, US17 goes northeast. US17 begins a concurrency with US92 just north of Winter Haven in Lake Alfred. Like US92, US17 roughly parallels Interstate 4 along the overlap, when all three meet US441, US192 follows US441 southbound, while US 17/92 follows US441 north into downtown Orlando. US 17/92 then splits from US441 at SR50 and jogs east, in Seminole County, the redevelopment of the 17-92 Community Redevelopment Area is handled by the US 17-92 Community Redevelopment Agency, a component unit of the County government.

Florida Department of Transportation
–
The Florida Department of Transportation is a decentralized agency charged with the establishment, maintenance, and regulation of public transportation in the state of Florida. The department was formed in 1969 and it absorbed the powers of the State Road Department. The current Secretary of Transportation is Interim Secretary Rachel D. Cone, the State Road Department, predecessor of todays Department of Transportation, was authorized in 1915 by the Florida legislature. For the first two years of its existence, the department acted as a body to the 52 counties in the state, helping to assemble maps. The Florida Transportation Commission, made up of nine commissioners chosen by Floridas Governor and Legislature, each of FDOTs eight semi-autonomous districts is managed by a District Secretary. Following the 2002 legislation, the Turnpike District secretary became known as an executive director, there are seven geographic districts plus the FTE. The FTE owns and maintains 460 miles of toll roads, tolls on all Department-owned facilities are collected by Floridas Turnpike Enterprise. In addition, the FDOT operates and manages several park and ride lots, most of the 7 geographic districts have a Districtwide Commuter Assistance Program. On March 5,2003, Governor Jeb Bush appointed José Abreu, on June 27,2005, Governor Jeb Bush appointed Denver Stutler, Jr. as Secretary of Transportation. Previously, Stutler was Bushs chief of staff, on January 2,2007, Governor Charlie Crist appointed Stephanie Kopelousos as Interim Secretary of Transportation, she was confirmed as Secretary on April 2,2007.

On December 19,2014, Governor Rick Scott appointed Jim Boxold as Secretary of Transportation, Florida has seven transportation districts, In 1954, the State Road Department completed the original Sunshine Skyway Bridge, the first fixed span to connect Saint Petersburg directly to Bradenton. This greatly shortened the time between the two cities, as before cars would have to either use a ferry or drive about 100 miles around Tampa Bay. A parallel span was completed in 1971 to make the bridge Interstate standard, after the newer, southbound span was destroyed in 1980 when the SS Summit Venture collided into it, a replacement bridge was finished in 1987. In 1974, FDOT completed Floridas Turnpike, a 312-mile limited access highway that connected the panhandle area through Orlando to Miami. The turnpike is part of an initiative to finance transportation with user fees, Florida State Roads Bridge Software Institute at the University of Florida Official Website

Alligators are a common sight along the scenic Tamiami Trail from Miami to Naples, unlike the parallel road, Alligator Alley, the trail is only one lane in each direction, and it has no fences to keep wildlife from crossing it. In Naples, US41 changes direction at the intersection of hidden SR90 and hidden SR45, turning from west to north towards Tampa and this segment of US41 is still considered the Tamiami Trail. US41 has a bypass in Fort Myers that separates from the trail, however in the Venice Area, US41 breaks away from the trail onto hidden SR 45A, a connector to I-75 can be found just north of the northern end of the business route. Two major US highways terminate at US41 in the Sarasota-Bradenton Metropolitan Area, the first is US301 in Sarasota, which runs straight, while US41 curves to the west towards the John Ringling Causeway, only to turn back north again.

Punta Gorda, Florida
–
Punta Gorda is a city in Charlotte County, Florida, United States. As of the 2010 census the city had a population of 16,641 and it is the county seat of Charlotte County and the only incorporated municipality in the county. Punta Gorda is the city of the Punta Gorda, Florida Metropolitan Statistical Area and is also in the Sarasota-Bradenton-Punta Gorda Combined Statistical Area. Punta Gorda was the scene of destruction after Charley, a Category 4 hurricane. Charley was the strongest tropical system to hit Florida since Hurricane Andrew in 1992, in the immediate years following the storm, buildings were restored or built to hurricane-resistant building codes. The new buildings, restorations and amenities concurrently preserved the citys past while showcasing newer facilities, during this time, Laishley Park Municipal Marina was built and the Harborwalk, Linear Park and various trails were created throughout the city for bicycle and pedestrian traffic. The name Punta Gorda has been on maps at least since 1851, referring to a point of land that juts into Charlotte Harbor and it was in the late 1800s that early settlers began to arrive in what is the present-day Punta Gorda area. Frederick and Jarvis Howard, Union Army veterans, homesteaded an area south of the Peace River near present-day Punta Gorda about a decade after the close of the Civil War. In 1876, James and Josephine Lockhart bought land and built a house on property which is now at the center of the city, approximately two years later Lockhart sold his claim to James Madison Lanier, a hunter and trapper. Lanier with his wife lived there until 1883, when 30.8 acres were sold to Isaac Trabue, Punta Gorda became the southernmost stop on the Florida Southern Railroad, until an extension was built to Fort Myers in 1904, attracting the industries that propelled its initial growth. In 1887,12 years after the first settlers trekked to Charlotte Harbor,34 met at Hectors Billiard Parlor to discuss incorporation, once Punta Gorda was officially incorporated, mayoral elections took place and a council was formed. The first mayor, W. H. Simmons, was elected, the new city was renamed Punta Gorda. Phosphate was discovered on the banks of the Peace River just above Punta Gorda in 1888, phosphate mined in the Peace River Valley was barged down the Peace River to Punta Gorda and Port Boca Grande, where it was loaded onto vessels for worldwide shipment. In 1896, the Florida Times-Union reported that mining was Punta Gordas chief industry. But, by 1907, a railroad was built direct to Port Boca Grande and it underwent many changes in both ownership and name over time, and today is known as The Charlotte Sun Herald. Early Punta Gorda greatly resembled the social climate of various classes living together. While the regal Punta Gorda Hotel, at one point partly owned by Cornelius Vanderbilt, reflected the upper class, Punta Gorda was a pretty rough town, as most frontier towns were. Punta Gordas location at the end of the railway line spiked the crime rate and this included City Marshal John H. Bowman, who was shot and killed in his front parlor on January 29,1903, in view of his family

Bartow is the county seat of Polk County, Florida, United States. Founded in 1851 as Fort Blount, the city was renamed in honor of Francis S. Bartow, according to the U. S. Census Bureau 2000 Census, the city had a population of 15,340 and an estimated population of 16,959 in 2009. It is part of the Lakeland−Winter Haven Metropolitan Statistical Area, which had an population of 584,383 in 2009. As of 2016, the mayor of Bartow is Trish Pfeiffer, located near the source of the Peace River, Bartow is approximately 39 miles east of the Tampa Bay Area and 50 miles southwest of the Greater Orlando area. The city is near the center of Lightning Alley and has frequent afternoon thunderstorms in the summer, government, mining, and agriculture are the major sectors of the areas economy. The primary roads in the Bartow area are U. S. Route 17, U. S. Route 98 and State Road 60, the official city nickname is the City of Oaks and Azaleas. Three districts within the city are on the National Register of Historical Places, other historic landmarks include the Old Polk County Courthouse built in 1909 and Bartow High School, formerly Summerlin Institute, the oldest high school in the county. The current school within the school, Summerlin Academy, is named in honor of the school name. A Spanish map of the Florida peninsula drawn in 1527 shows a settlement called Rio de la Paz near present-day Bartow. The remnants of these peoples probably joined Creek Indians who arrived from the north. The first non-Indian settlement in the area was a colony of Black Seminoles who established Minatti south of Lake Hancock in the late 1810s and these maroons, as they were commonly called, were escaped slaves from Georgia and the Carolinas. The Black Seminoles of Minatti were allies of the Red Stick Creek in Talakchopko, the Seminole leader Osceola had strong ties to Talakchopko, and many of the events leading up to the Second Seminole War were associated with Osceola and the Minatti war chief Harry. By the end of the Second Seminole War in 1842, both Minatti and Talakchopko had been destroyed, the Armed Occupation Act of 1842 facilitated settlement of the Florida peninsula in the 1840s, although the act did prohibit settlement near the Peace River as that was considered Seminole land. Enforcement of that part of the act was not strictly enforced, however, as the settlement grew, the residents began to plant citrus trees and build one room school houses and churches. In 1851, Fort Blount was established by Redding Blount just west of current downtown Bartow, at some point in the 1850s, Fort Blount became Peace Creek or Peas Creek, a name dating back to the Rio de la Paz of early Spanish maps. About a month after the secession of Florida in 1861, the state established Polk County from the portion of Hillsborough County. A few months later, the American Civil War began with the Battle of Fort Sumter, because of the turmoil of secession and the war, the county had no official county seat for its first six years of existence. The state legislature had directed the voters of Polk County to choose a site for the county seat, during the war, the areas major contribution to the Confederacy was supplies of food

Florida State Road 50
–
State Road 50 runs across the center of the U. S. state of Florida through Orlando, with its termini at SR55 at Weeki Wachee and SR5 in Titusville. Within various counties throughout the state, the highway is signed with names, such as Cortez Boulevard in Hernando County. The former section includes the concurrency with US98 between Brooksville and near Ridge Manor, US 98-SR50 is the only interchange with Interstate 75 in Hernando County. Several portions of SR50 east of SR436 follow the original Cheney Highway, full travel from Orlando to Titusville on the Old Cheney Highway, however, is not possible due to the demolition of a bridge over the Econlockhatchee River. At the eastern terminus of SR50, NASAs Vehicle Assembly Building is visible, the East-West Expressway was originally designed to, and still does, relieve traffic congestion on SR50 during rush hour. East of Nightwalker Road and July Avenue, SR50 enters land owned by the Southwest Florida Water Management District, from there, the road becomes the official northern border between Spring Hill and unincorporated Brooksville as it approaches the Sand Hill Scout Reservation. Immediately after the entrance to the aforementioned Boy Scout Camp, the road intersects Oak Hill Hospital on the opposite side, shortly after the hospital, SR50 climbs a hill and intersects with the gateway to High Point. From this point on, SR50 is a symbol of the sprawl that defines Hernando County. It also contains a series of disconnected frontage roads similar to those on US19, East of those three major shopping centers is a Wal-Mart Supercenter and a Sams Club Warehouse on the same side of the street. The Sams Club is just west of the intersection of Sunshine Grove Road and Twin Dolphin Road, curving back to direct east, SR50 intersects another former section at CR484 and then serves as the northern terminus for CR583. The road then curves northeast towards the City of Brooksville, a right-of way for another frontage road was built on the north side of SR50 in front of the hospital, and was assumed to be for nurses quarters for the hospital. This roadway was intended to stretch as far east as Mobley Road, neither the road nor the nurses quarters have been built as of this writing. At the southern end of CR485 and the west end of State Road 50A, SR50 takes a right turn and joins US Truck Route 98 around downtown Brooksville. From here the speed increases to 60 miles per hour. It moves primarily southeast through farmland and wooded swampland, US 98/SR50 finally turns straight east again when it runs between a pair of lakebeds before the intersection with CRs 484 and 541. At this point, the road moves up and down a series of hills but first passes by such as Rolling Acres and Hill n Dale. The hills continue along the road, but along more farms and sparsely populated areas, one trailer park can be found just west of Lockhart Road, which is the site of numerous dog shows. Entering the unincorporated community of Ridge Manor West, the road approaches some hotels, gas stations and restaurants serving motorist, US 98-SR50 is the only interchange along I-75 in Hernando County, and the left-turn lanes leading to the on-ramps are notoriously short

Orlando, Florida
–
Orlando is a city in the U. S. state of Florida and the county seat of Orange County. Located in Central Florida, it is the center of the Orlando metropolitan area, which had a population of 4,000,002, according to U. S. As of 2015, Orlando had an estimated population of 270,934, making it the 73rd-largest city in the United States, the fourth-largest city in Florida. The City of Orlando is nicknamed The City Beautiful, and its symbol is the fountain at Lake Eola, Orlando is also known as The Theme Park Capital of the World and in 2014 its tourist attractions and events drew more than 62 million visitors. The Orlando International Airport is the thirteenth-busiest airport in the United States, with the exception of Walt Disney World, most major attractions are located along International Drive. The city is one of the busiest American cities for conferences and conventions. Orlando is home to the University of Central Florida, which is the largest university campus in the United States in terms of enrollment as of 2015, in 2010, Orlando was listed as a Gamma− level of world-city in the World Cities Study Groups inventory. Orlando ranks as the fourth-most popular American city based on where people want to live according to a 2009 Pew Research Center study. Fort Gatlin, as the Orlando area was known, was established at what is now just south of the city limits by the 4th U. S. Artillery under the command of Ltc, alexander C. W. Fanning on November 9,1838 during the construction of a series of fortified encampments across Florida during the Second Seminole War. The fort and surrounding area were named for Dr. John S. Gatlin, king Phillip and Coacoochee frequented this area and the tree was alleged to be the place where the previous 1835 ambush that had killed over 100 soldiers had been planned. When the U. S. military abandoned the fort in 1839 the surrounding community was built up by settlers, prior to being known by its current name, Orlando was once known as Jernigan. Aarron Jernigan became Orange Countys first State Representative in 1845 but his pleas for military protection went unanswered. Fort Gatlin was briefly reoccupied by the military for a few weeks during October and November 1849, a historical marker indicates that by 1850 the Jernigan homestead served as the nucleus of a village named Jernigan. One of the countys first records, a grand jurys report, mentions a stockade where it states homesteaders were driven from their homes, Aaron Jernigan led a local volunteer militia during 1852. Jernigan appears on an 1855 map of Florida and by 1856 the area had become the county seat of Orange County and it is known for certain that the area was renamed Orlando in 1857. The move is believed to be sparked, in part, by Aaron Jernigans fall from grace after he was relieved of his command by military officials in 1856. His behavior was so notorious that Secretary of War Jefferson Davis wrote, in 1859, Jernigan and his sons were accused of committing a murder at the towns post office

Florida State Road 20
–
State Road 20 is an east-to-west route across northern Florida and the Florida Panhandle in the United States. The western terminus of State Road 20 is at State Road 85 in Niceville, the route proceeds east along the northern coast of the Choctawhatchee Bay through Freeport, where it leaves the Gulf coast behind, as it heads through Blountstown and the Florida Panhandle. SR20 crosses the Apalachicola River on the Trammell Bridge, then though the Apalachicola National Forest. It then becomes a hidden route briefly along US90 in Tallahassee, then along US27 in Tallahassee where it joins the Apalachee Parkway, constructed in 1957, the Apalachee Parkway starts at Monroe Street in front of the Florida State Capitol building. East of Gainesville, the road becomes a stand-alone route that is four lanes wide as it runs through Lochloosa Wildlife Conservation Area to the interchange with US301 in Hawthorne. The road has since been widened along the route between Interlachen and Francis as it heads into Palatka, finally joining with southbound US17 which itself is in a concurrency with State Road 100. All three routes cross the Palatka Memorial Bridge over the St. Johns River toward East Palatka and San Mateo, the portion of SR20 running through all of Calhoun County was designated as Fuller Warren Parkway by the Florida State Legislature in 1999. The portion of SR20 that is co-signed with US27 in Leon County was designated as Apalachee Parkway by the Florida State Legislature in 1961. The portion of SR20 that is co-signed with US27 in Leon, Jefferson, Madison, the same portion of SR20 in Taylor, Jefferson, and Leon counties was also designated as Paradise Drive by the Florida State Legislature in 1951. The portion of SR20 in Alachua County that is co-signed with US441 was designated as Martin Luther King Jr. Highway by the Florida State Legislature in 1988. The portion of SR20 in Alachua County that is co-signed with US27 was designated as United Spanish War Veterans Memorial Highway by the Florida State Legislature in 1947.

County Road 0120 is a piece of an old alignment of State Road 20. The reasons for a realignment were to straighten out the curve on the Leon County side, along CR0120, are entrances to a couple of residences and an abandoned gas station. County Road 20A is a suffixed county alternate route on the side of SR20 in western Putnam County.

Palatka, Florida
–
Palatka is a city in Putnam County, Florida, United States. The population was 10,558 at the 2010 census and it is the county seat of Putnam County. Palatka is the city of the Palatka Micropolitan Statistical Area. The city is home to St. Johns River State College, St. Johns River Water Management District Headquarters. The area is known for its local festivals, most notably the Florida Azalea Festival. The area was once the domain of the Timucuan peoples, two tribes of which existed in the Palatka region under chiefs Saturiwa and Utina and they fished bass and mullet, or hunted deer, turkeys, bear and opossum. Others farmed beans, corn, melons, squash, and tobacco, however, infectious disease that came with European contact and war devastated the tribes, and they were extinct by the mid-18th century. The last people evacuated with the Spanish to Cuba in 1763, during the late eighteenth century, remnants of Creek and other tribes made their way to Florida. In a process of ethnogenesis, the Seminole tribe was formed and they called the location Pilo-taikita, meaning crossing over or cows crossing. Here the St. Johns River narrows and begins a shallower, winding course upstream to Lake George, in 1767, Denys Rolle, an English gentleman and philanthropist, established Rollestown on the east bank of the St. Johns River at the head of deep-water navigation. His 78, 000-acre plantation was a commercial and humanitarian experiment, recruiting settlers off the streets of London, including paupers, vagrants, pickpockets. Two hundred indentured servants arrived to clear wilderness for agriculture and livestock, unaccustomed to either hard work or a subtropical climate, however, they scattered. Rolle next imported slaves from West Africa to tend chickens, hogs, goats and sheep, or produce cotton, indigo, citrus and he built a mansion and laid out a village, but trouble beleaguered the ideal society. In 1770, a disgruntled overseer sold over 1,000 of his employers cattle, Rolle hired new overseers and bought more slaves, but the plantation failed to prosper. The point in East Palatka, is still called Rollestown, with changes of sovereignty in Florida came numerous changes of ownership in Pilo-taikita, now contracted to Pilatka. In 1774, naturalist William Bartram noted an Indian village on the west bank, the current existence of Palatka can be traced to the settlement established there in 1821. After the United States acquired Florida in 1821, Nehemiah Brush established a ferry and bought a 1, 200-acre tract in 1826 and another of equal size the next year. The site became a point, where goods were shipped by a New York company to supply immigrants at the Grant of Arredondo

The western terminus of I-10 is the Florida–Alabama state line at the Perdido River, just west of Pensacola, exit 7A, SR297, gives access to the Pensacola Naval Air Station and the National Museum of Naval Aviation. At exit 12, I-10 serves as the terminus of I-110. The eastern terminus is located at I-95 in Downtown Jacksonville with an End I-10 sign, prior to the construction of I-10, US90 was the main east–west highway across the state. The first section of I-10 in Florida was completed between Sanderson and Jacksonville in 1961, construction on points westward continued in 1962. The route between Sanderson and Winfield was completed in 1963, by 1967, construction had been completed from the Alabama state line to SR87, and was under construction from Falmouth to I-75. New construction extending I-10 east from SR87 to Mossy Head began in 1968, the Falmouth to I-75 segment opened in 1969. Construction began in 1970 further extending I-10 westward from Mossy Head to DeFuniak Springs, new construction began in 1973 from DeFuniak Springs to Caryville and from Drifton to Capitola, the segment between Drifton and Falmouth opened that year. The Capitola to Drifton segment was completed the following year, construction began between Caryville and Chipley in 1974, and from Chipley to Midway in 1975. Both of these proposals were dropped and a route across the side of the city was chosen. In 2008 the interstate stretch in Tallahassee was expanded to six lanes to alleviate congestion, in 2002, I-10, along with most of Floridas interstates, switched over from a sequential exit numbering system to a mileage based exit numbering system. In 1993, a British tourist was killed at the Jefferson County Rest Area in a burglary by teens. As a result, Florida rest stops were either patrolled or closed for at least two years when lawmakers approved cut-backs, a number of rest areas are currently regularly patrolled at night by armed security, often private, due to a resurgence in rest area-related violent crime. On September 16,2004, Hurricane Ivan made landfall near Pensacola, a $26.5 million project was awarded the following day to Gilbert Southern/Massman and to the Parsons Corporation to make emergency repairs to the bridge. Work was completed on October 4 on the bridge, restoring two-way traffic seven days ahead of schedule

The city is situated on the banks of the St. Johns River, in the First Coast region of North Florida, prior to European settlement, the Jacksonville area was inhabited by Native American people known as the Timucua. In 1564, the French established the colony of Fort Caroline at the mouth of the St. Johns River. In 1822, a year after the United States gained Florida from Spain, Jacksonville is the cultural, commercial and financial center of North Florida. A major military and civilian deep-water port, the citys riverine location supports two United States Navy bases and the Port of Jacksonville, Floridas third largest seaport. The two US Navy bases, Blount Island Command and the nearby Naval Submarine Base Kings Bay, Jacksonville is also home to several colleges and universities, including University of North Florida, Jacksonville University and Florida State College at Jacksonville. The area of the city of Jacksonville has been inhabited for thousands of years. In the 16th century, the beginning of the era, the region was inhabited by the Mocama. At the time of contact with Europeans, all Mocama villages in present-day Jacksonville were part of the powerful chiefdom known as the Saturiwa, centered around the mouth of the St. Johns River. One early map shows a village called Ossachite at the site of what is now downtown Jacksonville, French Huguenot explorer Jean Ribault charted the St. Johns River in 1562 calling it the River of May because he discovered it in May. Ribault erected a column near present-day Jacksonville claiming the newly discovered land for France. In 1564, René Goulaine de Laudonnière established the first European settlement, Fort Caroline, philip II of Spain ordered Pedro Menéndez de Avilés to protect the interest of Spain by attacking the French presence at Fort Caroline. On September 20,1565, a Spanish force from the nearby Spanish settlement of St. Augustine attacked Fort Caroline, the Spanish renamed the fort San Mateo, and following the ejection of the French, St. Augustines position as the most important settlement in Florida was solidified. The location of Fort Caroline is subject to debate but a reconstruction of the fort was established on the St. Johns River in 1964. Spain ceded Florida to the British in 1763 after the French and Indian War, the British introduced the cultivation of sugar cane, indigo and fruits as well the export of lumber

United States Numbered Highway System
–
The United States Numbered Highway System is an integrated network of roads and highways numbered within a nationwide grid in the contiguous United States. The route numbers and locations are coordinated by the American Association of State Highway, the only federal involvement in AASHTO is a nonvoting seat for the United States Department of Transportation. Generally, north-to-south highways are odd-numbered, with lowest numbers in the east, the area of the thirteen states of the United States. Similarly, east-to-west highways are typically even-numbered, with the lowest numbers in the north, where roads were first improved most intensively, major north–south routes have numbers ending in 1 while major east–west routes have numbers ending in 0. Three-digit numbered highways are spur routes of parent highways but are not necessarily connected to their parents, some divided routes exist to provide two alignments for one route, even though many splits have been eliminated. Special routes, usually posted with a banner, can provide various routes, such as an alternate, bypass or business route, Routes were designated, auto trails designated by auto trail associations were the main means of marking roads through the United States. In 1925, the Joint Board on Interstate Highways, recommended by the American Association of State Highway Officials, after several meetings, a final report was approved by the U. S. Department of Agriculture in November 1925. They received complaints from across the country about the assignment of routes, so the Board made several modifications, as a result of compromises made to get the U. S. Highway System approved, many routes were divided, with alignments to serve different towns. In subsequent years, AASHTO called for such splits in U. S, expansion of the system continued until 1956, when the Interstate Highway System was formed. After construction was completed, many U. S, Routes were replaced by Interstate Highways for through traffic. Highways still form many important regional connections, and new routes are still being added, Routes do not have a minimum design standard, unlike the later Interstate Highways, and are not usually built to freeway standards. Many are designated using the streets of the cities and towns through which they run. New additions to the system, however, must substantially meet the current AASHTO design standards, as of 1989, the United States Numbered Highways system has a total length of 157,724 miles. Except for toll bridges and tunnels, very few U. S. AASHTO policy says that a road may only be included as a special route. U. S. Route 3 meets this obligation, in New Hampshire, but US Routes in the system do use parts of four toll roads, US51 uses part of the Jane Addams Memorial Tollway in Illinois, the old road is Illinois Route 251. US278 uses the tolled Cross Island Parkway in South Carolina, US412 uses the Cimarron Turnpike in Oklahoma, the old road is US64. US412 also uses the Cherokee Turnpike in Oklahoma, the old road is Alternate US412, Routes follow a simple grid in the contiguous United States, in which odd-numbered routes run generally north to south and even-numbered routes run generally east to west

Florida State Highway System
–
The State Highway System of the U. S. state of Florida comprises the roads maintained by the Florida Department of Transportation or a toll authority. The components are referred to officially as state roads, abbreviated SR, State Roads are always numbered, in general, the numbers follow a grid. Odd numbered roads run north-south, and even numbered roads run east-west, one- and two-digit numbers run in order from 2 in the north to 94 in the south, and A1A in the east to 97 in the west. The major cross-state roads end in 0 and 5, most routes of the form X00 are major diagonal routes, an even first digit indicates a southwest-to-northeast direction, and an odd first digit indicates a northwest-to-southeast direction. When the grid was first laid out in 1945, the rules were almost perfectly followed, however, over the years, as routes have been added, there has not always been room to follow the grid. Placements such as 112,752, and 602 are the most notable violations of the grid system, the Pensacola area has a collection of these misplaced street numbers. When FDOT added route numbers to a collection of Miami-Dade County streets in 1980, every section of U. S. Highway and Interstate Highway has a State Road number assigned to it, usually unsigned. In addition to some named toll roads some minor State Roads are also unsigned, prior to the 1945 renumbering, State Roads were given numbers in the order they were added to the system. The 1945 renumbering removed many roads that were never built and added some that had not existed prior to 1945, in 1955, the Florida Department of Transportation slowed down the addition of new state roads and began to classify roads into primary, secondary, and local roads. Primary roads would continue to be state-maintained, while Secondary roads would have an S before the number, local roads would be completely removed from the system. In 1977, FDOT changed the division of roads into state/county/local, most secondary roads and some primary roads were given to the counties, and occasionally a new state road was taken over, some main roads in incorporated areas were given to the localities. The secondary signs had the S changed to C and a small COUNTY sticker added to the bottom, as signs grew old, they were replaced with the standard MUTCD county road pentagon. While this occurred throughout the State of Florida, the part of the south of SR70 was hit particularly hard by the transition from State to County control. While most state roads are contiguous, there is a handful of routes that have interruptions in their designations. The most famous of the set is SR A1A, which exists in seven separate pieces along the Atlantic coast from Fernandina Beach to Key West, State Road 2 has two sections separated by the State of Georgia. State Road 5 temporarily ends leaving Lake Worth, FL as its segment in West Palm Beach was relinquished to the city in the mid 2000s, the route resumes at US 1s junction with Belvedere Road, where it runs concurrent with US1 northbound. State Road 15 has two sections bridged by County Road 15 and US 192/441, SR15 is only signed in the Orlando area and in Palm Beach County. For most of its route, SR15 is an administrative FDOT designation for US441 south of Holopaw, US17 between Orlando and Jacksonville, and US 1/23 north of Jacksonville

Others include SR 20/SR100 between San Mateo and Palatka, and Interstate 10, I-95, US23, and US1 in Downtown Jacksonville in that order, US17 begins in downtown Punta Gorda at US41. From here, it proceeds east as a pair of streets along Marion. Once outside of the Punta Gorda city limits, the one-way streets rejoin each other becoming a six-lane highway, from here, it is briefly elevated over the Seminole Gulf Railway and city streets before intersecting with Interstate 75 in Solana. After a brief jog east, it travels roughly northeast along the Peace River into Desoto County, where it goes through Fort Ogden, Nocatee and it splits into one-way streets again through Arcadia, where it intersects SR70. Once out of Arcadia, it continues northeast into Hardee County and the cities of Zolfo Springs, at Fort Meade, it joins with US98, which follows it northward until Bartow. While US98 goes northwest, US17 goes northeast, in the city of Bartow, US17 is known as Spessard Holland Parkway. Here, US98 leaves to the west at a road to SR60. From here, US 17/SR555 makes a sharp northeast turn into Gordonville as it passes by the Bartow Municipal Airport, the two segments converge again south of Cameron Road to become a six-lane divided highway. At the next intersection, SR540 joins US17. At Eloise, Old 9 Foot Road moves east onto County Road 655, a left turn at this intersection and a right turn onto the parallel Seventh Street Southwest takes motorists to Winter Haven Amtrak Station. US 17/SR540 goes over the Amtrak line between Lake Shipp and Lake Lulu, both of which go over a canal running between the two lakes, the canal serves as the southern border of Winter Haven. Between Avenue G Southwest and Avenue C Southwest, US17 curves to the left from Third Street, from there it intersects Central Avenue, which is SR542 east of US17. After winding around Spring Lake east of Lake Mirror, the runs along the west side of Inman Park until it reaches the intersection with SR544. US17 and US92 join at the end of Lake Alfred in Polk County. And thus the new state road is SR600 which carries US92 west into Auburndale, Lakeland, Plant City, Tampa. SR555 soon splits off as CR555 to the north along the old road through Lake Alfred, just south of East Thelma Street, US 17/US92 splits onto two different roadways while CR555 ends on the west side of the intersection

After SR583, the road part of the collective-distributor roads along Interstate 4 west and east of the parclo interchange with U. S. Route 301. The east end of the interchange contains a stub for a proposed ramp to 301 at the westbound flyover. Aceess to Interstate 75 is only available eastbound from I-4, three other local roads that cross US92 access I-4 before State Roads 566, 39A,39,574, and 533 in Plant City. US92 and U. S.

Florida State Road 15
–
State Road 15 is part of the Florida State Road System. SR15 runs from SR 80/SR880 at Belle Glade north along the east shore of Lake Okeechobee to Okeechobee, then it runs north to SR500 at Holopaw, and northwest along SR500 to Ashton, where it ends. County Road 15 in Osceola County and Orange County connects to the beginning of the next section and it then travels north on Mills Avenue and follows US17 all the way to downtown Jacksonville. From there it follows Interstate 95 to the Martin Luther King Jr. Parkway, also proposed route running North and Northwest from junction with SR500 at Holopaw to a point near the Orange County and Osceola County Line on SR15. Also a proposed route from a point on SR15 North of Satsuma, North to intersection with SR15 and SR100 in Palatka. The alternate route in Seminole County was going to be a bypass of Sanford, but construction of SR400 relegated it to a minor road, the main route has stayed mostly the same. Here are the places where the route now differs, The south end of SR15 has stayed the same, but SR80 has moved to the north, and thus the first three miles of SR15 is also SR80. SR15 is now CR15 in Osceola County and Orange County from SR500 in Ashton to SR528 east of Orlando International Airport. SR15 originally went from Conway to Orlando along Conway Road, but then turned west at Curry Ford Road and used Briercliff Drive, Delaney Avenue, the part of the old alignment on Curry Ford Road became part of SR 526A when SR15 was moved. When the 20th Street Expressway was built in Jacksonville, SR15 was rerouted onto it, the old route is now SR139

Concurrency (road)
–
A concurrency in a road network is an instance of one physical road bearing two or more different highway, motorway, or other route numbers. When two freeways share the same right-of-way, it is called a common section or commons. Other terminology for a concurrency includes overlap, coincidence, duplex, triplex, multiplex, concurrent numbering can become very common in countries that allow it. In some countries, however, concurrent numbering is avoided by posting only one number on road signs. Criticism of concurrencies include environmental intrusion, as well as being considered a factor in road accidents, most concurrencies are simply a combination of two route numbers on the same physical road. This is often advantageous as well as economically advantageous, it may be better for two route numbers to be combined into one along riverways or through mountain valleys. Some nations allow for concurrencies to occur, however, some nations specifically do not allow it to happen, in those nations which do permit concurrencies, it can become very common. In these countries, there are a variety of concurrences which can occur, an example of this is the concurrency of I-70 and I-76 on the Pennsylvania Turnpike in western Pennsylvania. A triple Interstate concurrency is found north of Madison, Wisconsin, with I-39, I-90, Wisconsin has another triple Interstate concurrency along the five-mile section of I-41, I-43, and I-894 in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. The concurrency of I-41 and I-43 on this roadway is an example of a wrong-way concurrency, the longest Interstate highway concurrency is I-80 and I-90 for 265 miles across Indiana and Ohio. There are examples of eight-way concurrencies, I-465 around Indianapolis and Georgia State Route 10 Loop around downtown Athens, Georgia. Portions of the 53-mile I-465 overlap with I-74, US31, US36, US40, US52, US421, SR37, seven of the eight other designations overlap between exits 46 and 47 to create an eight-way concurrency. In the United States, concurrencies are simply marked by placing signs for both routes on the same or adjacent posts, the federal Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices prescribes that when mounting these adjacent signs together that the numbers will be arranged vertically or horizontally in order of precedence. The order to be used is Interstate Highways, U. S. Highways, state highways, and finally county roads, several states do not officially have any concurrencies, instead officially ending routes on each side of one. There are several circumstances where unusual concurrencies exist along state borders, one example occurs along the Oklahoma–Arkansas state line. At the northern end of this border Oklahoma State Highway 20 runs concurrently with Arkansas Highway 43, concurrencies are also found in Canada. In Manitoba, the Trans-Canada Highway from Winnipeg to Portage la Prairie is concurrently signed with Yellowhead Highway, in Ontario, the Queen Elizabeth Way and Highway 403 run concurrently between Burlington and Oakville, forming the provinces only concurrency between two 400-series highways. In the United Kingdom, routes do not run concurrently with others, where this would normally occur, the roadway takes the number of only one of the routes, while the other routes are considered to have a gap and are signed in brackets

U.S. Route 1 in Florida
–
U. S. Highway 1 in Florida runs 545 miles along the states east coast from Key West to its crossing of the St. Marys River into Georgia north of Boulogne, and south of Folkston. US1 was designated through Florida when the United States Numbered Highway System was established in 1926, the road is maintained by the Florida Department of Transportation. From its national terminus in Key West, US1 carries the Overseas Highway—the Keys main highway north to the mainland. North of Jacksonville, US1 curves inland towards the St. Marys River as it enters Georgia. /US17 in Jacksonville to the Georgia state line near Boulogne, among other designations, US1 is a designated Blue Star Memorial Highway along its entire route through the state. Markers are placed at locations, including one in Rockledge. US1 officially begins at the Monroe County courthouse at the intersection of Whitehead and Fleming Streets and it proceeds south as Whitehead Street, a two-laned street, until the intersection with Truman Avenue, which takes it east through central Key West. Truman Avenue becomes North Roosevelt Boulevard about a mile east, and remains so until leaving the island, the road follows the northern shore of this section of Key West, then after curving southward, it meets State Road A1A head-on at a T-intersection before continuing east. This intersection also marks the terminus of the Overseas Highway. The highway expands to four lanes as it crosses the Bahia Honda Bridge, after Little Duck Key, US1 enters Knights Key, Boot Key, Key Vaca and the town of Marathon via the Seven Mile Bridge, thus leaving the lower Keys. US1 runs through Marathon as a four-laned road, after Key Vaca, the road becomes two-laned once more and runs through Fat Deer Key, where it forms the northern boundary of the city of Key Colony Beach. It then continues wholly in Marathon through Long Point Key, Crawl Key, the road then crosses to Little Conch Key and then Conch Key, both part of the Duck Key district. US1 then crosses to and traverses Long Key, which is mostly unincorporated except for the city of Layton, the road then reaches Craig Key, and then the village of Islamorada including Lower Matecumbe Key, Tea Table Key, Upper Matecumbe Key and Windley Key. US1 crosses a drawbridge onto Plantation Key, where it expands to four lanes, immediately the Overseas Highway enters Tavernier, where it temporarily splits into a pair of one-way roads through the community. Soon the road enters the community of Key Largo, which features another pair of one-way roads. Signage approaching the intersection directs northbound motorists to take this route if the lights on it are flashing. US1 swings to the northwest, forms the boundary of North Key Largo.

Tamiami Trail
–
The Tamiami Trail /ˈtæ. mi. ˌæ. mi ˈtreɪl/ is the southernmost 275 miles of U. S. Highway 41 from Florida State Road 60 in Tampa to US1 in Miami. A portion of the road also has the designation of State Road 90. The 275-mile north–south section extends to Naples, whereupon it becomes an east–west road crossing the Everglades. It becomes Southwest Eighth Street in Miami-Dade County, famous as Calle Ocho in the Little Havana section of Miami, before ending east of Miami Avenue at Brickell Avenue in Brickell, construction on the north–south section was begun in 1915. The east–west portion was called the Miami-Marco Road. The following year, Miami’s Capt. James Franklin Jaudon first proposed a road connecting Florida’s Gulf, the notion was seconded by Tampa’s E. P. Dickey, who suggested a name, the Tamyami Trail. The name Tamiami is said to be a contraction of the phrase Tampa to Miami, while support in Tampa for the proposed road was lacking, Miami Herald columnist William Stewart Hill would keep the idea alive whenever he felt that support was waning on the southeastern coast. At the time, Lee County was a larger county. In 1919, for reasons, Lee County was unable to complete its portion of the Tamiami Trail. Captain Jaudon had already purchased 207,360 acres of land, the proposal was accepted, the Chevelier Corporation began laying out a new route for the road and in 1921 began construction on the new segment of the Tamiami Trail. This segment is known as Loop Road. In 1922, the State of Florida ran out of funds for the east–west portion. So in 1923, Collier County was created out of the portion of Lee County. Almost immediately contention arose over the change of the route, the sponsors of the new county advocated for the original route, which was completely inside the boundaries of Collier County, and the State Road Department agreed with Collier County. Even so, the Board of County Commissioners of Dade County supported the Chevelier segment, since so much money had already been invested, as construction of the north–south section resumed, Collier hired A. R. Richardson to be the head engineer of the Naples-to-Miami section. A few months later, A. W. Frederick replaced Richardson, construction started on the east–west stretch in 1923. An east–west canal was created using explosives, the dirt was used to construct the roadway

Seminole Gulfs primary route, which extends nearly 80 miles, begins in Arcadia, from Arcadia, it runs south-southwest along the southern shore of the Peace River to Punta Gorda. In Punta Gorda, it turns south and then southeast closely paralleling Interstate 75 towards North Fort Myers, the line crosses the Caloosahatchee River between North Fort Myers and Tice via a drawbridge and series of trestles that traverse Beautiful Island. From Tice on the side of the river, the line heads southwest towards Downtown Fort Myers. Just east of downtown, the line turns south again through an area before heading south out of the city along the Ten Mile Canal. The line has a spur just north San Carlos Park known as the Baker Spur. From San Carlos Park, the line then heads south through Estero. What is now Seminole Gulf Railways main line came into existence incrementally in the late 1800s, the first segment was completed in 1886 between Arcadia and Punta Gorda by the Florida Southern Railroad. It was the segment of the Plant Systems Charlotte Harbor Division. Surveying work for the line was done by Punta Gorda civil engineer Albert W.

Interstate 75 in Florida
–
Interstate 75 is a part of the Interstate Highway System and runs from the Hialeah–Miami Lakes border, a few miles northwest of Miami, to Sault Ste. Marie in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, I-75 runs for 471 miles in Florida, making it the longest interstate in any state east of the Mississippi River. The interstate maintains a speed limit of 70 mph for its length in Florida. The portion of I-75 from Tampa northward was a part of the original 1955 Interstate Highway plans, for FDOT inventory purposes, it is designated as State Road 93 for most of its length in Florida. I-75 begins its journey at an interchange with SR826 and SR924 on the Hialeah–Miami Lakes border. As it curves around the border of Miami Lakes, I-75 serves some of the fringes of South Florida as an eight-lane highway. After an exit with SR860, I-75 has a interchange with the Homestead Extension of Floridas Turnpike before crossing into Broward County. There, it continues through the suburbs of Pembroke Pines, Weston, Miramar, Davie. It was originally constructed as a highway before it was converted to a four-lane highway meeting Interstate Highway standards. At this point, I-75 loses a lane in each direction, heading west, the Alligator Alley section west of Fort Lauderdale, Florida and east of Naples is due west–east and is one of only two sections of I-75 that are tolled. There are only two interchanges along the 75 mile tolled portion of Alligator Alley in addition to two rest areas and a number of scenic outlook points as it crosses the Florida Everglades. I-75 enters Collier County along Alligator Alley just west of the Snake Road exit, there are a number of small bridges along Alligator Alley to allow wildlife to pass under the freeway especially along the Florida Panther National Wildlife Refuge east of SR29. Extensive fencing also prevents wildlife from crossing traffic, once near Naples at County Road 951, I-75 makes a sharp turn north resuming its south–north trajectory and gains a third lane each way as it parallels Floridas west coast. At this point, Alligator Alley ends and I-75 is toll free for the rest of its length in Florida, North of Ellenton, I-275 splits from I-75 to serve St. Petersburg and Pinellas County via the Sunshine Skyway Bridge and Tampa via the Howard Frankland Bridge. I-75 parallels the shore of Tampa Bay as a bypass route of the Tampa Bay Area, as it passes by the communities of Brandon, Temple Terrace. Two expressways access downtown Tampa from I-75, the Lee Roy Selmon Expressway, within the Tampa Bay Metropolitan Area, many interchanges are far more complex than mere diamond, cloverleaf, or even SPUI interchanges. Aside from the turbine interchange with I-4, there are interchanges with Fowler Avenue. A flyover ramp was built from southbound Bruce B, widened median segments exist in Northern Pasco County, Hernando County, and in Sumter County north of County Road 476-B
