Route Description
The current alignment of State Road 814 serves two golf courses, Pompano Park Race Track, and Fern Forest Nature Center in addition to beach access for much of the region. Coral Square is a major regional shopping mall at the corner of Atlantic Boulevard and University Drive (State Road 817) in Coral Springs.
Traditionally, the road west of U.S. Route 441 (State Road 7) was known as Broward County Road 814. However, conflicting signage on W. Atlantic Boulevard does not make it clear where State Road 814 terminates. County Road 814 shields still exist at the State Road 7 intersection, but State Road 814 shields were erected at the Sawgrass Expressway interchange upon the exit's opening. In 2009, overhead signs were erected at the intersection of University Drive and W. Atlantic Boulevard, which designate the road as County Road 814.

Famous quotes containing the words route and/or description:
“no arranged terror: no forcing of image, plan,
or thought:
no propaganda, no humbling of reality to precept:
terror pervades but is not arranged, all possibilities
of escape open: no route shut,”
—Archie Randolph Ammons (b. 1926)
“As they are not seen on their way down the streams, it is thought by fishermen that they never return, but waste away and die, clinging to rocks and stumps of trees for an indefinite period; a tragic feature in the scenery of the river bottoms worthy to be remembered with Shakespeare’s description of the sea-floor.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
