Florida State Road 736

Florida State Road 736

Locally known as Davie Boulevard and Peters Road, State Road 736 is a 7.1-mile-long commuter highway serving central Broward County, Florida. Its current western terminus is an intersection with South University Drive (SR 817) in Plantation; the eastern terminus is an intersection with South Federal Highway (US 1-SR 5) in Fort Lauderdale. Peters Road extends 0.7 miles beyond the western terminus, to an intersection with Pine Island Road in Plantation.

The Davie Boulevard portion of the route (between US 441-SR 7 and US 1) was originally designated State Road 82 by Florida State Roads, the forerunner of Florida Department of Transportation. In the 1980s, FDOT extended the State Road designation 3.1 miles westward along Peters Road and gave the "new" State Road its current designation.

Until the extension and redesignation in Broward County, SR 82 was an "interrupted" Florida State Road, for there was - and still is - a SR 82 in southwestern Florida (from Fort Myers to near Immokalee, Florida).

In Bay County, Florida, 11th Street (in the Panama City grid) between Beck Ave (US Bus 98) and Tyndall Pkwy (US 98) was once signed as State Road S-736. The road was given to the county in the late 1970s, and then in the early 1980s, the county began replacing the state road shields with standard blue pentagon signs which designated the highway as County 736. Very soon after that, the road was renumbered as County 28, and signage today still reflects that change. (It seems out-of-place for this road to have a two-digit designation, not only because the road was formerly only a secondary state highway, but also because two-digit designations are usually reserved for longer roads.)
