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:
“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)
“Once a child has demonstrated his capacity for independent functioning in any area, his lapses into dependent behavior, even though temporary, make the mother feel that she is being taken advantage of....What only yesterday was a description of the child’s stage in life has become an indictment, a judgment.”
—Elaine Heffner (20th century)
