Florida State Roads

Contents

Introduction

Every road maintained by the Florida Department of Transportation or a toll authority is given a number. In general, the numbers follow a grid. Odd numbered roads run north-south, and even numbered roads run east-west. Two-digit numbers run in order from 2 in the north to 94 in the south, and A1A (formerly 1) in the east to 97 in the west (99 used to exist but is now a county road). 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.

Other three-digit numbers are placed in horizontal bands based on the first digit:

first digit
1 north of 10
2 between 10 and 20
3 between 20 and 40
4 between 40 and 50
5 between 50 and 60
6 between 60 and 70
7 between 70 and 80
8 between 80 and 90
9 south of 90

Three-digit numbers increase from east to west across the band; 30 is skipped because it runs along the Gulf Coast in the panhandle and doesn't go all the way across the state.

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. Even given this, some placements, such as 112 (in the 8 band) and 752 (in the 2 band), seem to defy reason.

Every section of U.S. Highway and Interstate Highway has a State Road number assigned to it, usually unsigned. Some minor State Roads are also unsigned, as are 91 and 821 (which make up Florida's Turnpike).

History


Prior to the 1945 renumbering, State Roads were given numbers in the order they were added to the system. The 1945 renumbering removed a lot of roads that had never been built and added some that had not existed prior to 1945.

Until the late 1970s, the Florida Department of Transportation continued to add State Roads to the system. At some point, they began to classify roads into primary, secondary, and local roads. Primary roads would continue to be state-maintained. Secondary roads would have an S before the number, and would only be state-maintained during a construction project. Local roads would be completely removed from the system.

In 1977, FDOT changed the division of roads into state/county/local. Most secondary routes and some primary routes 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 (for county) and a small COUNTY plate added to the bottom. As signs grew old, they were replaced with the standard MUTCD county road pentagon.

A list of State Roads


Former roads are italicized. Not all former roads are in the table, but all current ones should be.

Pre-1945 Florida State Roads are on a separate page.
