Route description

SR 692 started at 118th Avenue North, with the road running east as a freeway towards Interstate 275, ending at I-275's interchange with State Road 686, although SR 692 provided no access to SR 686.

Eastbound, it was signed for I-275, and westbound, it was signed for 118th Avenue North.

History

SR 692 opened in 2002. This is the first instance of a Florida State Road with this number. When it opened, SR 692 was unsigned. Initially, there was no ramp from I-275 northbound to SR 692, but the ramp was built at a later date.

The road was decommissioned in 2013, and transferred to State Road 686.[ citation needed ]

Arizona State Route 51 (SR 51), also known as the Piestewa Freeway, is a numbered state highway in Phoenix, Arizona.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Interstate 275 (Michigan)</span> Interstate Highway in Michigan, United States

Interstate 275 (I-275) is an auxiliary Interstate Highway in the US state of Michigan that acts as a western bypass of the Detroit metropolitan area. The Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) maintains the highway as part of the larger State Trunkline Highway System. The freeway runs through the western suburbs near Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County Airport, and crosses several rivers and rail lines in the area. The southern terminus is the interchange with I-75 near Newport, northeast of Monroe. MDOT considers the Interstate to run to an interchange with I-96, I-696 and M-5 on the Farmington Hills–Novi city line, running concurrently with I-96 for about five miles (8.0 km). This gives a total length of about 35.03 miles (56.38 km), which is backed up by official signage. According to the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), the length is 29.97 miles (48.23 km) because that agency considers I-275 to end at the junction with I-96 and M-14 along the boundary between Livonia and Plymouth Township. All other map makers, like the American Automobile Association, Rand McNally and Google Maps follow MDOT's practice.

State Route 42 (SR 42) is a decommissioned state highway in the southern region part of the U.S. state of California, running along Manchester Avenue, Manchester Boulevard and Firestone Boulevard in Los Angeles and the cities south of it.
