State Roads in The Florida Keys

State Roads In The Florida Keys

Since the opening of the Overseas Highway in 1938, the set of Florida State Roads, USA, serving the Florida Keys has been a small one. Currently only two such roads designated by Florida Department of Transportation are located on the string of islands in Monroe County, Florida, and only eight other State Roads have been designated, but have since been reverted to Monroe County maintenance (at least two of the former State Roads still have the old SR signs on the edge of their shoulders and it is likely that one of them was never signed).

Famous quotes containing the words state, roads, florida and/or keys:

    Across Parker Avenue from the fort is the Site of the Old Gallows, where 83 men “stood on nothin’, a-lookin’ up a rope.” The platform had a trap wide enought to “accommodate” 12 men, but half that number was the highest ever reached. On two occasions six miscreants were executed. There were several groups of five, some quartets and trios.

    There are three roads to ruin; women, gambling and technicians. The most pleasant is with women, the quickest is with gambling, but the surest is with technicians.
    Georges Pompidou (1911–1974)

    In Florida consider the flamingo,
    Its color passion but its neck a question.
    Robert Penn Warren (1905–1989)

    without luggage or defenses,
    giving up my car keys and my cash,
    keeping only a pack of Salem cigarettes
    the way a child holds on to a toy.
    I signed myself in where a stranger
    puts the inked-in X’s
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
