Current State Roads in The Florida Keys
State Road A1A: South Roosevelt Boulevard from Bertha Street to the Overseas Highway (US 1) in Key West is the southernmost of seven discontiguous segments of SR A1A in Florida (in fact, it is the southernmost state-designated highway of the contiguous United States). This section of SR A1A is signed only near Key West International Airport and Fort East Martello Museum and Gardens.
State Road 5 is the "hidden" (unsigned) FDOT designation for not only the Overseas Highway, but virtually all of US 1 south of Jacksonville since 1945. Along with Card Sound Road, the Overseas Highway is one of only two roads that enter and exit Monroe County and the Florida Keys. From 1938 to 1945, US 1 carried the designation State Road 4A.

—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“From this elevation, just on the skirts of the clouds, we could overlook the country, west and south, for a hundred miles. There it was, the State of Maine, which we had seen on the map, but not much like that,—immeasurable forest for the sun to shine on, the eastern stuff we hear of in Massachusetts. No clearing, no house. It did not look as if a solitary traveler had cut so much as a walking-stick there.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Pioneers lay the roads for those who follow to walk on.”
—Chinese proverb.
“In Florida consider the flamingo,
Its color passion but its neck a question.”
—Robert Penn Warren (1905–1989)
“Bless all useful objects,
the spoons made of bone,
the mattress I cook my dreams upon,
the typewriter that is my church
with an altar of keys always waiting.”
—Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
