U.S. Route 90 in Florida
section of U.S. Numbered Highway in Florida, United States
U.S. Route 90 (US 90) in the state of Florida is the northernmost east–west United States Numbered Highway in the state and runs parallel with Interstate 10. US 90 not only passes through the county seats of 15 of the 16 counties it runs through on its course in Florida (the exception is Nassau County) and is also the road upon which many of the county courthouses are located, but it was the first paved road in Florida (from Jacksonville westward a few miles). It is never more than six miles (9.7 km) from Interstate 10 (I-10) throughout the state, except to the east of Jacksonville. It runs as a two-lane highway through most of the sparsely populated inland areas of the Florida Panhandle, widening to four lanes through and near several towns. The speed limit is 55 mph (89 km/h) for all rural points west of Monticello, and it is 60 mph (97 km/h) on all rural points from where it enters Madison County as far as Glen St. Mary.
Like all highways in Florida, US 90 always carries a state road number, which may or may not always be signed. These numbers are assigned by the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT):
State Road 10 (SR 10) from the Alabama state line to US 90 Alt./SR 10 east in Jacksonville with one exception:
SR 10A between the western and eastern termini of US 90 Alt. in Escambia County, which carries SR 10.
SR 212 from the US 90 Alt./SR 10 interchange in Jacksonville to the eastern terminus at SR A1A in Jacksonville Beach.
