Route Description
State Road 824 begins at the eastern end of the intersection between University Drive and Pembroke Road at the boundary between Pembroke Pines and Miramar on the southwest end of North Perry Airport. SR 824 takes Pembroke Road east, with the Airport on the north side of the road and residential development on the south. Just past the eastern end of the Airport, SR 824 crosses the overpass with Florida's Turnpike without an interchange, where the road leaves Pembroke Pines and represents Hollywood's southern border for the rest of the route, as it continues to act as Miramar's northern boundary, where the road turns into a mix of commercial and residential developments eastbound. At US 441/SR 7, the road borders Miramar to the southwest, West Park to the southeast, and Hollywood to the north, as it begins to border West Park heading eastwards. The road passes by a commercial complex on both sides of the roads before becoming a primarily residential road, with SR 824 forming southern boundary of the Hillcrest Country Club starting at 46th Avenue. At 40th Avenue, the road leaves West Park and begins to border Pembroke Park to the south, and it becomes commercial again, with several storage centers to the south of the road, heading towards an interchange with Interstate 95. Following the interchange with I-95, it borders Hallandale to the south, becoming a mostly residential road between I-95 and Dixie Highway. Between Dixie Highway and the eastern terminus of SR 824 at Federal Highway (US 1/SR 5), the road forms the northern boundary of the Hollywood Dog Track.
Pembroke Road extends 5.5 miles (8.9 km) past the western terminus of SR 824, primarily a residential road but also going by South Florida State Hospital (NW Corner of SR 817/University Drive) and Market Place Mall (at an intersection with SR 823). At the eastern end, it continues into a residential area for several blocks past Federal Highway, named Moffett Street.

Famous quotes containing the words route and/or description:
“In the mountains the shortest route is from peak to peak, but for that you must have long legs. Aphorisms should be peaks: and those to whom they are spoken should be big and tall of stature.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
“It is possible—indeed possible even according to the old conception of logic—to give in advance a description of all ‘true’ logical propositions. Hence there can never be surprises in logic.”
—Ludwig Wittgenstein (1889–1951)
