Route Description
State Road 794 begins at the intersection of Yamato Road and Military Trail (Palm Beach County Road 809) in the country club neighborhoods of Boca Raton. The highway heads eastward as the eight-lane arterial boulevard. State Road 794 continues through the country clubs, passing to the south of Broken Sound Golf Course and to the north of the local residential developments. After the intersection of Old Course Way, the highway expands from four lanes to six, and while approaching Broken Sound Boulevard, expands to eight lanes. Broken Sound Boulevard parallels Yamato Road for a distance to the north, while the residential development becomes commercial. From here, the road turns to the northwest, passing the Boca Raton Tri-Rail station.
After crossing a riverbank, State Road 794 continues eastward as an eight-lane arterial, which crosses the Tri-Rail line after intersecting with ramps to Interstate 95 southbound. The highway continues eastward as a six-lane arterial into the partial cloverleaf interchange, crossing under the interstate and entering a densely populated part of Boca Raton. The road becomes surrounded by a mix of commercial and residential developments before crossing a local freight railroad and State Road 811 (the Dixie Highway). Continuing eastward, State Road 794 goes for a short distance further into Boca Raton, ending at an intersection with U.S. Route 1 (and unsigned State Road 5).

Famous quotes containing the words route and/or description:
“A route differs from a road not only because it is solely intended for vehicles, but also because it is merely a line that connects one point with another. A route has no meaning in itself; its meaning derives entirely from the two points that it connects. A road is a tribute to space. Every stretch of road has meaning in itself and invites us to stop. A route is the triumphant devaluation of space, which thanks to it has been reduced to a mere obstacle to human movement and a waste of time.”
—Milan Kundera (b. 1929)
“The Sage of Toronto ... spent several decades marveling at the numerous freedoms created by a “global village” instantly and effortlessly accessible to all. Villages, unlike towns, have always been ruled by conformism, isolation, petty surveillance, boredom and repetitive malicious gossip about the same families. Which is a precise enough description of the global spectacle’s present vulgarity.”
—Guy Debord (b. 1931)
