Route Description
State Road 858 begins at the eastern end of the intersection between US 441/SR 7, with Miramar Parkway to the west and Hallandale Beach Boulevard to the east at the border between Miramar and West Park. SR 858 takes Hallandale Beach Boulevard east into West Park as a mostly commercial road. At 56th Avenue, the road leaves West Park and enters Pembroke Park, continuing in a blend of residential and commercial properties, including mobile homes. SR 858 then has an interchange with Interstate 95, where to the east of the interchange, SR 858 enters Hallandale, and becomes an almost purely commercial road for the rest of the road. The road then crosses Dixie Highway and the Florida East Coast Railroad, and then passes by the northern end of the Gulfstream Park Race Track just east of the intersection of South Federal Highway (US 1/SR 5). Between Federal Highway and the eastern terminus, the road passes through several shopping centers, crossing the Intracoastal Waterway on a drawbridge one block west of SR A1A, the eastern terminus of SR 858, one block west of the ocean and just south of Hollywood.
West of SR 858's western terminus, the road becomes Broward County Road 858, and is known locally as Miramar Parkway, with the entire county road being located in Miramar. The County Road designation extends 9 miles (14 km) to the west as a mostly residential road, crossing Florida's Turnpike without an interchange, intersections with University Drive (SR 817), State Road 823, before ending at an intersection with Interstate 75, while Miramar Parkway continues an additional 2.5 miles (4.0 km) westward, until its intersection with 196th Avenue in Miramar.

Famous quotes containing the words route and/or description:
“The route through childhood is shaped by many forces, and it differs for each of us. Our biological inheritance, the temperament with which we are born, the care we receive, our family relationships, the place where we grow up, the schools we attend, the culture in which we participate, and the historical period in which we live—all these affect the paths we take through childhood and condition the remainder of our lives.”
—Robert H. Wozniak (20th century)
“To give an accurate description of what has never occurred is not merely the proper occupation of the historian, but the inalienable privilege of any man of parts and culture.”
—Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)
