Route Description
State Road 847 begins at an intersection with State Road 860 and NW 47th Avenue, with SR 847 proceeding north through a dense residential area until an intersection with NW 199th Avenue/Honey Hill Drive. At the northwest corner of this intersection is the Landmark Center (formerly Sunland Training Center), a facility for the education of individuals with developmental and learning disabilities. A commercial development straddles the northeastern end of the intersection, with SR 847 continuing through more spread out residential areas until it crosses a canal, where it parallels a canal for the remainder of its route through undeveloped area to the east and a landfill to the west, ending at NW 215th Street, just south of the Broward County line.
Northwest 47th Avenue continues south from SR 860 as a locally maintained road, crossing State Road 826 (the Palmetto Expressway), passing Florida Memorial University and ending north of the Opa-locka Airport.
In Broward County, the road continues north as Palm Avenue/SW 101st Avenue through and beyond Miramar, which ends north of State Road 869 (the Sawgrass Expressway) after changing names several times to Coral Ridge Drive and Nob Hill Road.

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)
“He hath achieved a maid
That paragons description and wild fame;
One that excels the quirks of blazoning pens.”
