State Road 811 (SR 811) is the shared Florida Department of Transportation designation of two separate north–south roads in southern Florida. Both are former alignments of Dixie Highway (which became U.S. Route 1) after the route was shifted to the east, closer to the Atlantic Ocean. One segment of SR 811 is in Broward County; the other is in Palm Beach County, Florida
The 14-mile (23 km) southern segment of SR 811 extends from an intersection with Sunrise Boulevard (SR 838) in downtown Fort Lauderdale, going north, and ending at an intersection with Hillsboro Boulevard (SR 810) in Deerfield Beach. The southern segment of SR 811 is locally known by a variety of names: Northeast 4th Avenue (in Fort Lauderdale), Wilton Drive (in Wilton Manors), North Dixie Highway (in Wilton Manors, Oakland Park, and Pompano Beach), Old Dixie Highway (in Oakland Park and Deerfield Beach), and West Dixie Highway (in Pompano Beach). The segment of road located in Pompano Beach is maintained by the city as of 2016, and is not part of the state highway system.
Parallelling both US 1 to the east and Interstate 95 to the west, SR 811 is a major north–south commercial access road for northeastern Broward County cities. While much of the property that lines SR 811 is residential in nature, most of the route is adjacent to Florida East Coast Railroad tracks. Two hospitals (North Ridge Medical Center and the Pompano Beach Medical Center) are on the southern segment of SR 811, south of Pompano Beach Airpark, home base of the Goodyear Blimps.
