Route description

edit
 
SR 816 westbound approaching Interstate 95

Oakland Park Boulevard passes through mainly residential zones of Sunrise, Lauderhill, Lauderdale Lakes, Oakland Park, Wilton Manors, and Fort Lauderdale. It starts as a spur of Exit 3 of the Sawgrass Expressway, and then merges with the northern terminus of Flamingo Road (SR 823) as it heads east.[3]

After its intersection with University Drive, SR 816 continues for 2.3 miles (3.7 km), passing over Florida's Turnpike without an interchange at the border between Lauderhill and Lauderdale Lakes, and intersecting U.S. Route 441 (US 441; State Road 7) one mile (1.6 km) later.

After passing US 441, SR 816 enters the city of Oakland Park. For 2.6 miles (4.2 km), SR 816 passes through residential zones, with some businesses dotting the road, until its interchange with Interstate 95 (I-95). After I-95, SR 816 forms the border between Oakland Park and Wilton Manors for 1.2 miles (1.9 km), with an intersection with Powerline Road 0.2 miles (0.32 km) from the interchange. Soon after, SR 816 intersects the Dixie Highway, followed by an intersection with Federal Highway one mile later as the road enters Fort Lauderdale. The Coral Ridge Mall is located at the northeast corner of the intersection with Federal Highway.

After Federal Highway, SR 816 continues for another mile before terminating at Ocean Boulevard (SR A1A).
