History
From 1956, signs for U.S. Highways in Florida had different colors for each highway. The "shield" for US 441 was brown, until the state was forced by the federal government to conform to standards that required consistent black-and-white signs in 1993.
Between 2007 and 2011, the southern terminus of US 441 was the Miami River, when the Florida Department of Transportation demolished the NW 7th Avenue Bridge over which the highway passed.
