State Road 802 (SR 802) is a major east–west highway serving central Palm Beach County, Florida spanning 10.313 miles (16.597 km). The western terminus of SR 802 is an intersection with US 441-SR 7 near Wellington; the eastern terminus is an intersection with Ocean Boulevard (SR A1A) in Lake Worth. State Road 802 is a major commuter highway that is also a primary access road for the beaches of Palm Beach County. The majority of SR 802 is known locally as Lake Worth Road.
SR 802 begins at the intersection between US 441–SR 7 just southeast of Wellington, with SR 802 taking Lake Worth Road east, with the road being lined with golf courses and other residential housing from the western terminus east to the interchange with Florida's Turnpike. Following the interchange, SR 802 becomes more commercial as it enters Greenacres. Lake Worth Road jogs slightly to the north just prior to the intersection with Jog Road, and continues through a mix of commercial and residential areas continuing eastward. At the intersection with SR 809 (Military Trail), it leaves Greenacres and enters Palm Springs, with SR 802 still heading east. Starting with the intersection with SR 807, it forms the northern border for the campus of Palm Beach Community College for several blocks, followed by the northern border of John Prince Memorial Park, then returning to a residential area as it heads for the overpass of Interstate 95 (SR 9).
