Florida State Road 933

State Road 933, locally known as Southwest 12th Avenue, Northwest 12th Avenue, and Ronald W. Reagan Avenue, is a 4.25-mile-long north-south street entirely within the city limits of Miami, Florida. Its southern terminus is an intersection with Coral Way (State Road 972) as Coral Way changes from Southwest 22nd Street to Southwest Third Avenue; its northern terminus is an interchange with the Airport Expressway (SR 112). North of Dolphin Expressway (SR 836), reassurance signage is virtually nonexistent (only one near the SR 836 onramp for southbound motorists), and the only indication of SR 933 existing north of Northwest 14th Street is a pair of trailblazer signs on Northwest 36th Street (US 27-SR 25).

The sights along SR 933 reflect the neighborhood through which motorists travel. Between the Dolphin Expressway and the Miami Canal, the street goes through business and government buildings, from hotels to law offices to a supermarket and a marine supply store; between Miami Canal and Southwest 11th Street, SR 933 passes through Little Havana and its mixture of small businesses and residences (it passes within two blocks of the Orange Bowl stadium); between Southwest 11th Street and Coral Way, SR 933 passes through one of Miami's oldest residential developments, the Roads neighborhood, with many buildings the survivors of the Great Miami Hurricane of 1926.

SR 933 then passes through the Civic Center district and the Santa Clara business and industrial parks, and has become an important access road for those vital Miami districts. With the construction and operation of Metrorail in the 1980s over the median of this street, the street's importance has been amplified with the growth and operation of Jackson Memorial Hospital, Cedars-Sinai Hospital, the Veterans Affairs Hospital, clinics associated with JMH, and Miami Dade College - Medical Center Campus; the addition of buildings associated with the Miami-Dade County legal system (part of the court system of the State of Florida); and the recent addition of condominium buildings near the Santa Clara Metrorail Station at Northwest 21st Street.
