U.S. Route 1 in Florida
Encyclopedia
U.S. Route 1 in Florida
runs 541 miles (870.7 km) along the state's east coast from Key West
to its crossing of the St. Marys River
into Georgia
north of Boulogne
, and south of Folkston. US 1 was designated through Florida when the U.S. Highway System was established in 1926.
US 1 runs 541 miles (870.7 km) in the state of Florida, and is maintained by FDOT. From it's national southern terminus in Key West, it carries the Overseas Highway
, the Keys main highway north to the mainland, entering South Florida. From South Florida to Jacksonville, US 1 runs close to the coastline of the Atlantic Ocean
and the Intracoastal Waterway
, generally east of I-95
and west of State Road A1A
, running roughly parallel with both roads. North of Jacksonville, US 1 curves inland towards the St. Mary's River as it enters Georgia.
As is the case with all Florida roads with Federal designations, the entirety of US 1 has a hidden Florida Department of Transportation
designation: State Road 5 south of Callahan
(except for 11 miles (18 km) as SR 805 in Palm Beach County
); State Road 15
north of Callahan. US 1 is a designated Blue Star Memorial Highway
along its entire route through the state. Markers are placed at various locations, including one in Rockledge, Florida
and Fort Lauderdale, Florida
. State Road A1A
runs next to the Atlantic Ocean
, roughly parallel to US 1 for much of its path through Florida.
north to Fort Kent, Maine
. The label was generally applied to the Atlantic Highway, except between Jacksonville, Florida
and Augusta, Georgia
, where a more inland route was chosen. In Florida, US 1 was designated along the full length of State Road 4. South of Jacksonville, this was both the Atlantic Highway and the eastern division of the Dixie Highway
; the route from Jacksonville northwest into Georgia was a Jacksonville-Macon, Georgia
Dixie Highway connector.
An extension in the 1930s or 1940s took US 1 south from Miami over the Overseas Highway
(State Road 4A) to Key West, where it still ends today. The part of US 1 between Miami and Jacksonville has been replaced by Interstate 95 for most through traffic.
In Florida, where signs for U.S. highways formerly had different colors for each highway, the "shield" for US 1 was red. Florida began using the colored shields in 1956, but during the 1980s the MUTCD was revised to specify only a black and white color scheme for U.S. Highway shields. As such, Federal funds were no longer available to maintain the colored signs. On August 27, 1993, the decision was made to no longer produce colored signs. Since then, the remaining colored signs have gradually been replaced by black-and-white signs; at present, there are a few rare colored ones still in place.
. Truman Avenue becomes North Roosevelt Boulevard about a mile east, and remains so until leaving the island. A small bridge that connects Key West is the southern terminus of the Overseas Highway

In Florida, where signs for U.S. highways formerly had different colors for each highway, the "shield" for US 1 was red. Florida began using the colored shields in 1956, but during the 1980s the MUTCD was revised to specify only a black and white color scheme for U.S. Highway shields. As such, Federal funds were no longer available to maintain the colored signs. On August 27, 1993, the decision was made to no longer produce colored signs. Since then, the remaining colored signs have gradually been replaced by black-and-white signs; at present, there are a few rare colored ones still in place.
