State Road 848 (SR 848), locally known as Stirling Road, is a 6.726-mile-long (10.824 km) east–west commuter highway in Broward County. Its western terminus is an intersection with University Drive (SR 817) in Davie; its eastern terminus is an intersection with Federal Highway (US 1/SR 5) in downtown Dania Beach. The speed limit is 45 miles per hour (72 km/h) for the length of the State Road.
State Road 848 begins at the intersection between University Drive (SR 817) and Stirling Road in Davie. The road then goes east, entering the Hollywood Seminole Indian Reservation after it crosses over Florida's Turnpike (SR 91) without an interchange. After the intersection with US 441/SR 7 in Hollywood at the eastern end of the Hollywood Seminole Indian Reservation, SR 848 takes Stirling Road east as a four lane divided highway, through mostly residential areas, scattered with commercial businesses. East of the intersection with Lakeshore Drive, SR 848 forms the southern boundary with Dania Beach, as the road becomes more commercial, quickly approaching the interchange with Interstate 95. At the southeast corner of the interchange with Interstate 95 (SR 9) was the site of Six Flags Atlantis, a water park that was in existence in the 1980s and early 1990s. After the closing and demolition of the park, the Oakwood Plaza shopping center was built in its place. Just east of the shopping center, Stirling Road crosses a canal and leaves Hollywood and enters Dania Beach, through more commercial establishments before terminating at US 1.
