State Road 434 (SR 434) is a major roadway in the Central Florida area. Starting at SR 424 (Edgewater Drive) just north of Orlando city limits, the road runs north as Forest City Road through Forest City before dropping the name at the Seminole County line. SR 434 continues north and east through Altamonte Springs and Longwood before turning south and east through Winter Springs and Oviedo. SR 434 is called Central Avenue when it first turns south towards downtown Oviedo. After going through downtown Oviedo, SR 434 is called Alafaya Trail from its intersection with Mitchell Hammock Road south to the Orange County line to its end at SR 50 (Colonial Drive). The road continues south as Alafaya Trail only without the state road designation. Alafaya meets with State Road 50 in Union Park, FL.
West of Oviedo SR 434 is signed east–west, south of Oviedo it is signed north–south.
In Seminole County, official maps show SR 434 as being named Sanlando Springs Road through Longwood and Sanford-Oviedo Road through Winter Springs. A 1995 United States Geological Survey map of Forest City calls SR 434 Forest City Palm Springs Road north of its intersection with SR 436. Despite this it is virtually unheard of for a local resident to refer to the road as such with most not even aware of the names. The road is referred to locally as simply State Road 434, Highway 434, Route 434 or just as 434.
