AS Highway 1 (Florida) runs 545 miles (877 km) along the eastern shore of the state of Key West to the intersection of St. John's River. Marys to Georgia north of Boulogne, and south of Folkston. US 1 was designed through Florida when the US Highway Number System was established in 1926. It is managed by the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT).
From its southern southern tip in Key West, US 1 transported the Overseas Highway - Keys main highway north to the mainland, entering South Florida. From South Florida to Jacksonville, US 1 runs close to the Atlantic Ocean coastline and the IntraTastal Waterway, generally east of Interstate 95 (I-95) and west of State Road A1A (SR A1A), runs roughly parallel to both roads. North of Jacksonville, US 1 curved inland into the St. Mary when entering Georgia.
As with all Florida roads with national designations, the entire US 1 has a hidden FDOT designation:
- SRÃ, 5 from Whitehead Street/Fleming Street in Key West to US 1 Alternate/US $ 17 in Jacksonville with one exception:
- SRÃ, 805 from Federal Highway (SR 5 north) at Lantana to Belvedere Road in West Palm Beach;
- SR 115 from US 1 Alt./US 17 in Jacksonville to the intersection with I-95/SR 15 south/SR 115 north via Martin Luther King Jr Parkway.
- SRÃ, 15 from the I-95 intersection in Jacksonville to the state line of Georgia near Boulogne.
Among other titles, US 1 is a Blue Star Memorial Highway designated along its route through the state. Markers are placed in various locations, including one in Rockledge and Fort Lauderdale.

Route description
The buttons
US 1 officially begins at the Monroe County courthouse at the intersection of Whitehead and Fleming Street, Key West. It continues south such as Whitehead Street, a two laned road, to the intersection with Truman Avenue, which takes it east through the center of Key West. Truman Avenue became North Roosevelt Boulevard about a mile to the east, and remained so until it left the island; US 1 extends to four lanes along its length. The road follows the north coast of the Key West section, then after curving southward, it meets State Road A1A directly at the T intersection before proceeding east. This intersection also marks the southern end of the Overseas Highway, known to the US between here and the Florida mainland.
After crossing into Stock Island and forming a boundary between the eponymous districts and entering Key West, US 1 proceeds through an unrelated Monroe County on Boca Chica Key, past Naval Air Station Key West and Rockland Key, where the Overseas Highway takes to the streets two laned. Then across East Rockland Key, Big Coppitt Key (and congregation district), Saddlebunch Keys, Sugarloaf Key, Park Key, Cudjoe Key (and congregation district), Summerland Key, Ramrod Key, Central Torch Key, Little Torch Key, Big Pine Key and its congruent district), Scout Key, and Spanish Harbor Key. The highway extends into four lanes as it crosses the Honda Bahia bridge, then reduced to two lanes as it crosses Bahia Honda Key, Ohio Lock, Missouri Key, and Little Duck Key. After Little Duck Key, US 1 enters Knight's Key, Boot Key, Key Vaca and Marathon city via the Seven Mile Bridge, leaving behind the lower Keys.
US 1 runs through Marathon as a four laned road. After Key Vaca, the path becomes two laned once more and walks through the Fat Deer Key, where it forms the northern boundary of the town of Key Colony Beach. It then continues entirely in Marathon through Long Point Key, Crawl Key and Grassy Key. The road then crossed over to Little Conch Key and then Conch Key, both part of the Duck Key district. US 1 then crossed and crossed the Long Key, which was largely unrelated except for the town of Layton, which was passed by the highway. The road then reaches Craig Key, and then the village of Islamorada includes Matecumbe Lock Down, Tea Table Lock, Upper Matecumbe Lock and Windley Lock. US 1 crosses a suspension bridge to Plantation Key, where it extends to four lanes and then leaves Islamorada while crossing into Key Largo. Soon the Outer Highway entered Tavernier, where temporarily it was split into a pair of one-way streets through the community. Immediately enter the Key Largo community, which also features a pair of one-way streets. At the northern end of the Key Largo district, about two-thirds of the way along the island, US 1 intersects County Road 905, which offers alternative routes from Keys via North Key Largo and Card Sound Bridge. Signage approaching the intersection directs the rider north to take this alternative route if the light on it blinks. US 1 swung northwest, forming the southern boundary of North Key Largo, and into two roads that split in two after the intersection. After crossing the Jewfish River Bridge (where he re-entered Monroe County) and traveling with Cross Key, the US cross Manatee Creek, along with the Miami-Dade County boundary, and reach the mainland.
Miami-Dade Region
For the first 14 miles (23 km) in Miami-Dade County, US 1 is a divided two-lane street bordering Everglades National Park in the west. It's named South Dixie Highway from the county line to Miami. The first major intersection is with the northern end of Card Sound Road in southern Florida City. Similarly in the south, the board leads tourists to the south approaching this intersection to take the Street Sound Card if the lights above it blink, rather than bringing the US 1 south to Key Largo.
To the north of the crossroads of Jalan Kartu Suara, US 1 meets the southern end of Krome Avenue (State Road 997), and then enters Florida City. Here, US 1 cut State Road 9336, providing access to the west to the Everglades National Park; at the same intersection, Palm Drive (formerly State Road 906) also provides access eastwards to Biscayne National Park. From here to the north, the South Dixie Highway is paralleled with the South Miami-Dade Busway along the former East Railway Railway in Florida. Near-directly north from the Palm Drive intersection, US 1 meets the southern end of the Homestead Extension of the Florida Turnpike, and then across to Homestead on South 328th Street.

Maps U.S. Route 1 in Florida
History
US 1 was set nationally on November 11, 1926, running from Miami, Florida, north to Fort Kent, Maine. The label is generally applied to the Atlantic Highway, except between Jacksonville, Florida, and Augusta, Georgia, where the more rugged route is selected. In Florida, US 1 is set along the full length of SR 4. Southern Jacksonville, this is the second Atlantic Highway and east division of Dixie Highway; The route from northwest Jacksonville to Georgia is the Jacksonville-Macon connector, Georgia Dixie Highway.
With the Overseas Roads completed in 1938, US 1 extended from Miami over the Overseas Highway (SRA 4A) to Key West shortly afterwards, where it still ends today.
The US part 1 between Miami and Jacksonville has been replaced by I-95 for the most part through traffic.
In Florida, where former US Road signs have different colors for every highway, the "shield" for US 1 is red. Florida began using colored shields in 1956, but during the 1980s the Manual on the Uniform Traffic Control Kit was revised to determine only black and white color schemes for the US Highway shield. Thus, Federal funds are no longer available to maintain colored markings. On August 27, 1993, the decision was made to no longer produce colored signs. Since then, the remaining colored markers have been replaced gradually by black-and-white markings.
