Source-derived summary

Florida State Road 7 (SR 7) is a major north–south artery in South Florida connecting U.S. Route 41 (US 41; unsigned SR 90) in the Little Havana section of Miami with 60th Street in Loxahatchee. All but the northernmost 6.5 miles (10.5 km) (in and near Royal Palm Beach) is instead (or additionally) signed as US 441, and has been since 1950.

Route description

Miami-Dade

The state road begins at US 41, which is also the national southern terminus of US 441. The road in Miami-Dade County is only signed as US 441, with no indication of SR 7 anywhere. It is labeled Northwest 2nd Avenue north of the Golden Glades Interchange and Northwest 7th Avenue from the interchange south to the Miami River, after which it continues another dozen blocks to US 41 as Northwest and Southwest 8th Avenues.

In the city of Miami Gardens, a 0.358 mile frontage road runs along the southbound side of State Road 7 just south of Northwest 199th Street and ending at Northwest 193rd Street. This road carries the hidden designation of State Road 7F.

Broward

In Broward County, the road is only signed as US 441, but is indicated as "State Road 7" on green street signs when approaching the road from cross streets. From the Miami-Dade County line north to Stirling Road in Hollywood, it is also known as South 60th Avenue. In addition, Broward County addresses along the route show references to "State Road 7" and residents refer to the road as both "441" and "State Road 7". Many locations along State Road 7 in the cities of Plantation, Lauderhill and Lauderdale Lakes are addressed as "SW/NW 40th Avenue".

Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

A short description can identify a subject without explaining its stakes. For “Florida State Road 7”, the useful work is to connect “state highway in Florida, United States” to the records capable of establishing context and consequence.

Evidence profile

The citation trail is more important than the brevity of the summary: it shows where individual claims can be examined in context. The source revision retrieved here is dated Aug 18, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q2432358. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1950.

Critical limits

The absence of detail may reflect summary conventions rather than a lack of surviving documentation. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
