Florida State Road 78
State Road 78 is the Florida Department of Transportation designation for three separate east–west sections of a road that was once a single stretch of road extending from the Gulf Coast of Florida to the northern tip of Lake Okeechobee. In the 1980s, two segments of the route were removed from state maintenance to county maintenance (and the road designations were changed to reflect the action); more recently, SR 78 signs disappeared from the four-mile-long stretch of US 27/SR 25 that doubled as the State Road. All three sections are signed east–west, even though the easternmost section is actually a north–south route.
