State Road 820 (SR 820), also known as Pines Boulevard and Hollywood Boulevard is a 19.956 miles (32.116 km) long divided highway serving southern Broward County, Florida. Its western terminus is an intersection with U.S. Highway 27 (State Road 25) in Pembroke Pines, Florida; its eastern terminus is a trumpet interchange with State Road A1A in Hollywood, Florida. State Road 820 is the southernmost of three roads in Broward County that connects U.S. Highway 27 and A1A, the others being Sheridan Street and Griffin Road. State Road 820 also serves as the latitudinal baseline for the street grid that incorporates Hollywood, Pembroke Pines, Miramar, West Park, and Pembroke Park.
Pines Boulevard begins at an intersection with Okeechobee Road near the western fringes of Broward County development and the Everglades. State Road 820 follows Pines Boulevard east, as the first several miles of the road are newer residential developments, with some schools and grocery shops dotted on the road before an interchange with Interstate 75. East of I-75, it passes through some more residential developments before becoming commercial as it becomes the southern border of Pembroke Lakes Mall just east of the intersection of Flamingo Road, which in 2001 was considered "most dangerous intersection in the United States" by State Farm Insurance. Continuing east past the mall, the road is mostly commercial dotted with some residential areas until it reaches University Drive, where Pines Boulevard becomes the northern boundary of North Perry Airport. At this point, the road to the north becomes mostly residential, and at SW 60th Avenue, Pines Boulevard becomes Hollywood Boulevard, and the road begins to form the southern border of Hollywood. Residential developments then dot both sides of the road, with Broward College south campus appearing to the north just west of the interchange with Florida's Turnpike, where SR 820 leaves Pembroke Pines and enters Hollywood, where it stays for the rest of the route.
