* SR 15 originally went from
Conway to
Orlando along Conway Road, but then turned west at Curry Ford Road and used Briercliff Drive, Delaney Avenue, and Gore Street to reach
SR 527. The part of the old alignment on Curry Ford Road became part of
SR 526A when SR 15 was moved.
* Until around 1975, when the Mills Avenue Extension was built, SR 15 continued west from Mills Avenue along what is now
SR 5098, and then went north on
SR 527 through downtown
Orlando, returning to the current route via
SR 50.
* When the 20th Street Expressway was built in
Jacksonville, SR 15 was rerouted onto it; the old route is now
SR 139 (and was first given the number
SR 15A).
