U.S. Route 92
U.S. Numbered Highway in Florida, United States
U.S. Highway 92 (US 92) is a 181-mile (291 km) U.S. Route entirely in the state of Florida. The western terminus is at US 19 Alternate (US 19 Alt.) and State Road 687 (SR 687)) in downtown St. Petersburg. The eastern terminus is at SR A1A in Daytona Beach. Originally the main thoroughfare connecting the major cities of Central Florida, this has since been superseded by Interstate 4 (I-4), which runs almost entirely the same route. For about half of its length, US 92 runs concurrently with US 17.
Like all highways designated by the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) in Florida, US 92 always carries a hidden state road number from the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT):
State Road 687 from the US route's western terminus at US 19 Alt./SR 595 to the junction with SR 686/SR 687/SR 694 in St. Petersburg;
State Road 600 from the junction with SR 686/SR 687/SR 694 in St. Petersburg to George Jenkins Boulevard in Lakeland, and again from East Gary Road in Lakeland to the route's eastern terminus at SR A1A in Daytona Beach;
State Road 517 (formerly SR 600B) from George Jenkins Boulevard (SR 600 east) to Memorial Boulevard (SR 546 west) in Lakeland; and
State Road 546 from Memorial Boulevard to East Gary Road (SR 600 west) in Lakeland.
