By Car in Fort Lauderdale

By Car

Access to Broward County from north or south is via Florida's Turnpike, Interstate 95, U.S. 1, or U.S. 441. Interstate 75 (Alligator Alley, requiring a toll despite being part of the nation's interstate highway system) connects Broward with Florida's west coast and runs parallel to State Road 84 within the county. Except during rush hour, Broward County is easier than elsewhere in South Florida for driving. East-west Interstate 595 runs from westernmost Broward County and links Interstate 75 with Interstate 95 and U.S. 1, providing handy access to the airport. The scenic but slow Route A1A generally parallels the beach. The Sawgrass Expressway (also known as State Road 869 north of Interstate 595 and Interstate 75 south) is a toll road that links to Sawgrass Mills shopping and the ice-hockey arena, both in Sunrise.
