Florida State Road 823 (SR 823) is a 20.6-mile (33.2 km) long state highway in the U.S. state of Florida. The road runs from U.S. Route 27 (US 27 or SR 25) in Hialeah to Interstate 595 (I-595 or SR 862) and SR 84 in Davie. The section in Miami-Dade County, through Hialeah and Miami Lakes, is known as Red Road (also known as West Fourth Avenue in Hialeah's street grid and West 57th Avenue in the countywide grid). In Broward County, the road turns northwest and merges into Flamingo Road, until its terminus in Davie, though the road continues without designation into Sunrise.[2][3][4][1]
South of a gap due to Miami International Airport, Red Road is State Road 959.

State Road 823 begins at the north side of the Miami Canal at Okeechobee Road (US 27), being the northern segment of Red Road, running through the city of Hialeah as West 4th Avenue, with intersections with State Road 934 and State Road 932. It has an interchange with State Road 924, and exits Hialeah at the intersection with State Road 916 (West 84th Street) and again becomes Northwest 57th Avenue at the southwest end of the Opa-locka Airport.
SR 823 continues north dividing the incorporated town of Miami Lakes to the west from Opa-locka Airport and the city of Miami Gardens to the east until it crosses the Palmetto Expressway (SR 826) where it continues to run north through unincorporated Miami-Dade County, with an intersection with State Road 860 in that stretch.
North of Honey Hill Drive, SR 823 becomes the dividing line between Miramar, Broward County and unincorporated Miami-Dade County, before fully entering Broward County and Miramar just south of the Homestead Extension of Florida's Turnpike (SR 821).[5]
Curving northwest starting at the intersection with Miramar Parkway, SR 823 merges onto Flamingo Road, first intersecting State Road 820 by CB Smith Park and Pembroke Lakes Mall, followed by others at State Road 848, and State Road 818 before reaching its northern terminus with Interstate 595 (SR 826) and State Road 84.
County Road 823
Flamingo Road continues north beyond I-595 / SR 84 without state designation, providing access to Sawgrass Mills, one of the largest enclosed shopping centers in the United States, and the BB&T Center, home of the Florida Panthers National Hockey League team. This extension has the hidden designation of County Road 823.[6] The northern terminus of Flamingo Road is at an intersection with Oakland Park Boulevard, itself an extension of SR 816, and the Sawgrass Expressway (SR 869), 3.69 miles (5.94 km) north of I-595.
History

Wikisource has original text related to this article: |
State Road 368 was defined by state law in 1937. This route ran along Red Road (present SR 823) from pre-1945 SR 26 (now US 27) in Hialeah north to Opa Locka Road (Northwest 138th Street, currently SR 916). There it turned west until County Road 80, where it turned back south to SR 26.

The other section of present SR 823 was defined in 1939 as State Road 517, running along Flamingo Road from Pembroke Road north to a branch of pre-1945 SR 26 (now SR 84).

In the 1945 renumbering, all but the southernmost mile of SR 517 became State Road 823 (giving it a southern terminus of SR 820). At some point, it was extended south to Snake Creek Canal and Northwest 202nd Street, just south of the Dade (now Miami-Dade) County boundary.

The other piece, partly former SR 368, was designated State Road 819 (SR 819) in the 1945 renumbering. This ran from SR 25 (now US 27) north to Golden Glades Drive (Northwest 167th Street, which later became part SR 826 before construction of the Palmetto Expressway), using former SR 368 south of Northwest 138th Street. The rest of SR 368 was not assigned a number, but part of it is now SR 916. This was extended north to SR 860 (Northwest 183rd Street) at some point; SR 819 was redesignated State Road 955 (SR 955) in 1983 as part of a statewide reorganization of State Roads.
Around 1992, the diagonal connection between Red Road and Flamingo Road was built, allowing SR 823 to extend south over that connection, first ending at SR 860, then taking over SR 955 in the mid 1990s. The former piece of SR 823 on Flamingo Road to the county line was kept as an unsigned State Road (to be designated State Road 9823).
"The Most Dangerous Intersection in America"
In 2001, State Farm Insurance ranked the intersection of Flamingo Road and Pines Boulevard in Pembroke Pines, "The Most Dangerous Intersection in America". Using data from over a two-year period, the company found that 357 vehicular accidents happened during their study at the intersection, which is where C. B. Smith Park, Pembroke Lakes Mall, a hospital, and two shopping centers are located. This prompted the city to make drastic changes to the intersection, which included lengthening the turning lanes and adding red light cameras. The number of accidents has since dropped significantly at the intersection.[7]
