It runs from [[State Road 80 (Florida)|SR 80]]/[[State Road 880 (Florida)|SR 880]] at [[Belle Glade, Florida|Belle Glade]] north along the east shore of [[Lake Okeechobee]] to [[Okeechobee, Florida|Okeechobee]].

County Road 15 in [[Osceola County, Florida|Osceola County]] and [[Orange County, Florida|Orange County]] connects to the beginning of the next section, at [[State Road 528 (Florida)|SR 528]] (the Bee Line Expressway) east of [[Orlando International Airport]]. From there, SR 15 travels north on Narcoossee Road, west on Hoffner Road, north on Conway Road through [[Conway, Florida|Conway]], west on Lake Underhill Road, and west on South Street (northbound) and Anderson Street (southbound) on both sides of [[State Road 408 (Florida)|SR 408]] (the East-West Expressway) to downtown [[Orlando, Florida|Orlando]]. It then travels north on Mills Avenue and continues all the way to downtown [[Jacksonville, Florida|Jacksonville]]. From there it goes north along Main Street and west on the 20th Street Expressway, and then northwest into [[Georgia (U.S. state)|Georgia]], as [[Georgia State Route 15]]. SR 15 is unsigned, except in three places: * from the south end to [[U.S. Route 441 (Florida)|US 441]] south of [[Runyon, Florida|Runyon]] * [[State Road 528 (Florida)|SR 528]] to [[State Road 50 (Florida)|SR 50]] in downtown [[Orlando, Florida|Orlando]] * the junction sign on [[Clay County Road 209|CR 209]] for [[U.S. Highway 17 (Florida)|US 17]] also posts a sign for SR 15, even though it is signed [[U.S. Highway 17 (Florida)|US 17]] on that portion.

along [[Lake Okeechobee]] via [[Pahokee, Florida|Pahokee]] to [[Okeechobee, Florida|Okeechobee]] then Northwesterly to a junction with [[State Road 500 (Florida)|SR 500]] at Holopaw and along [[State Road 500 (Florida)|SR 500]] to [[Ashton, Florida|Ashton]], then continuing Northwesterly to a junction with [[State Road 600 (Florida)|SR 600]] in [[Orlando, Florida|Orlando]] and along [[State Road 600 (Florida)|SR 600]] to an intersection with [[State Road 46 (Florida)|SR 46]] at 25th St. in [[Sanford, Florida|Sanford]], then along [[State Road 600 (Florida)|SR 600]] and [[State Road 46 (Florida)|SR 46]] to First St. then along [[State Road 600 (Florida)|SR 600]] across St. Johns River to an intersection with [[State Road 40 (Florida)|SR 40]] and [[State Road 44 (Florida)|SR 44]] in [[DeLand, Florida|Deland]], then along [[State Road 600 (Florida)|SR 600]] and [[State Road 40 (Florida)|SR 40]] to a point North of [[DeLand, Florida|Deland]] and along [[State Road 40 (Florida)|SR 40]] to [[Barberville, Florida|Barberville]], then Northwesterly via [[Pierson, Florida|Pierson]], [[Crescent City, Florida|Crescent City]] and [[Satsuma, Florida|Satsuma]] to a junction with [[State Road 20 (Florida)|SR 20]] and [[State Road 100 (Florida)|SR 100]] at [[San Mateo, Florida|San Mateo]], then along [[State Road 20 (Florida)|SR 20]] and [[State Road 100 (Florida)|SR 100]] via [[East Palatka, Florida|East Palatka]] to an intersection of [[State Road 20 (Florida)|SR 20]] and [[State Road 100 (Florida)|SR 100]] at Reid St. and 7th St. in [[Palatka, Florida|Palatka]], then along [[State Road 100 (Florida)|SR 100]] to an intersection of [[State Road 100 (Florida)|SR 100]] and [[State Road 15 (Florida)|SR 15]] on Madison St. near the NW City Limits of [[Palatka, Florida|Palatka]], then Northwesterly to [[State Road 16 (Florida)|SR 16]] in [[Green Cove Springs, Florida|Green Cove Springs]] and along [[State Road 16 (Florida)|SR 16]] to Orange Ave., then in a Northwesterly direction via [[Orange Park, Florida|Orange Park]], [[Jacksonville, Florida|Jacksonville]], and [[Callahan, Florida|Callahan]] to the [[St. Mary's River]] at the [[Georgia (U.S. state)|Georgia]] State Line. * Also proposed route running North and Northwest from junction with [[State Road 500 (Florida)|SR 500]] at [[Holopaw, Florida|Holopaw]] to a point near the [[Orange County, Florida|Orange County]] and [[Osceola County, Florida|Osceola County]] Line on [[State Road 15 (Florida)|SR 15]]. * Also from a point on [[State Road 15 (Florida)|SR 15]] and [[State Road 600 (Florida)|SR 600]] North of [[Longwood, Florida|Longwood]] in [[Seminole County, Florida|Seminole County]] in a Northerly direction to intersection with [[State Road 15 (Florida)|SR 15]] and [[State Road 600 (Florida)|SR 600]] just South of [[St. Johns River]] at the [[Volusia County, Florida|Volusia County]] and [[Seminole County, Florida|Seminole County]] Line. * Also a proposed route from a point on [[State Road 15 (Florida)|SR 15]] North of [[Satsuma, Florida|Satsuma]], North to intersection with [[State Road 15 (Florida)|SR 15]] and [[State Road 100 (Florida)|SR 100]] in [[Palatka, Florida|Palatka]]. Neither proposed route was built. The alternate route in [[Seminole County, Florida|Seminole County]] was going to be a bypass of [[Sanford, Florida|Sanford]], but construction of [[State Road 400 (Florida)|SR 400]] ([[Interstate 4 (Florida)|Interstate 4]]) relegated it to a minor road, and it became [[Seminole County Road 15|CR 15]] in the 1980s. The main route has stayed mostly the same. Here are the places where the route now differs: * The south end of SR 15 has stayed the same, but [[State Road 80 (Florida)|SR 80]] has moved to the north, and thus the first three miles of SR 15 is also [[State Road 80 (Florida)|SR 80]]. * SR 15 is now CR 15 in [[Osceola County, Florida|Osceola County]] and [[Orange County, Florida|Orange County]] from [[State Road 500 (Florida)|SR 500]] in [[Ashton, Florida|Ashton]] to [[State Road 528 (Florida)|SR 528]] east of [[Orlando International Airport]]. * SR 15 originally went from [[Conway, Florida|Conway]] to [[Orlando, Florida|Orlando]] along Conway Road, but then turned west at Curry Ford Road and used Briercliff Drive, Delaney Avenue, and Gore Street to reach [[State Road 527 (Florida)|SR 527]]. The part of the old alignment on Curry Ford Road became part of [[State Road 526A (Florida)|SR 526A]] when SR 15 was moved. * Until around 1975, when the Mills Avenue Extension was built, SR 15 continued west from Mills Avenue along what is now [[State Road 5098 (Florida)|SR 5098]], and then went north on [[State Road 527 (Florida)|SR 527]] through downtown [[Orlando, Florida|Orlando]], returning to the current route via [[State Road 50 (Florida)|SR 50]]. * When the 20th Street Expressway was built in [[Jacksonville, Florida|Jacksonville]], SR 15 was rerouted onto it; the old route is now [[State Road 139 (Florida)|SR 139]] (and was first given the number [[State Road 15A (Florida)|SR 15A]]). ==Spur in Jacksonville== {{main|Roosevelt Expressway (Jacksonville)}} SR 15 is also a short [[arterial]] and [[freeway]] connector from the main part of SR 15 ([[U.S. Highway 17 (Florida)|US 17]]) southwest of downtown [[Jacksonville, Florida|Jacksonville]] northeast to [[State Road 8 (Florida)|SR 8]] ([[Interstate 10 (Florida)|Interstate 10]]). The spur is unsigned. Southbound it is signed for [[U.S. Highway 17 (Florida)|US 17]], and northbound it is signed for [[Interstate 10 (Florida)|I-10]] east. ===Major roads intersected=== * [[#Current route|SR 15]] ([[U.S. Highway 17 (Florida)|US 17]]) in [[Jacksonville, Florida|Jacksonville]] * [[State Road 129 (Florida)|SR 129]] in [[Jacksonville, Florida|Jacksonville]] * [[#Current route|SR 15]]/[[State Road 228 (Florida)|SR 228]] ([[U.S. Highway 17 (Florida)|US 17]]) in [[Jacksonville, Florida|Jacksonville]] ''no access'' * [[State Road 8 (Florida)|SR 8]] ([[Interstate 10 (Florida)|Interstate 10]]) in [[Jacksonville, Florida|Jacksonville]] ===History=== The spur was built as part of the original [[Jacksonville, Florida|Jacksonville]] freeway system.
