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:
“By whatever means it is accomplished, the prime business of a play is to arouse the passions of its audience so that by the route of passion may be opened up new relationships between a man and men, and between men and Man. Drama is akin to the other inventions of man in that it ought to help us to know more, and not merely to spend our feelings.”
—Arthur Miller (b. 1915)
“It [Egypt] has more wonders in it than any other country in the world and provides more works that defy description than any other place.”
—Herodotus (c. 484–424 B.C.)
