History

The SR 824 designation was originally applied to Hallandale Beach Boulevard (current SR 858), to the south; at the same time, a stretch of Pembroke Road between US 441 ( SR 7) and then- SR 5A (Dixie Highway) had State Road 824A signage. About 1983, both streets received their present State Road designations (with the "new" SR 824 having more than double the length of the former SR 824A). The number reassignments occurred at roughly the same time that many Dade County State Roads were given new numbers in a reorganization by the Florida Department of Transportation.
