Florida State Road 809
State Road 809, locally known as Military Trail, is a six-lane divided highway which, like the nearby similar north–south State Road 811 and State Road 807, serves the dual purposes of commuting alternatives to the Florida's Turnpike and Interstate 95 (State Road 9). The road currently runs from an intersection with Lake Worth Road (SR 802) in Greenacres north to an intersection with Blue Heron Boulevard (SR 708) in Riviera Beach.
Military Trail continues further south into Broward County (without FDOT or County designation) until its southern terminus at Sample Road (State Road 834), which serves as the boundary between Deerfield Beach and Pompano Beach. The road continues as Andrews Avenue Extension into Pompano Beach.
