[[Image:Florida State Roads 15 and 408.jpg|thumb|200px|SR 15 north at [[State Road 5098 (Florida)|SR 5098]] in [[Orlando, Florida|Orlando]]]]
'''State Road 15''' (commonly '''SR 15''') is part of the [[Florida State Road]] System. 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]]. Then it runs north to [[State Road 500 (Florida)|SR 500]] ([[U.S. Highway 192 (Florida)|US 192]]) at [[Holopaw, Florida|Holopaw]], and northwest along [[State Road 500 (Florida)|SR 500]] to [[Ashton, Florida|Ashton]] (east of [[St. Cloud, Florida|St. Cloud]]), where it ends.
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.
The rest is signed as various U.S. Highways:
* [[U.S. Highway 441 (Florida)|US 441]] from south of [[Runyon, Florida|Runyon]] to the end of the first section, east of [[St. Cloud, Florida|St. Cloud]]
* [[U.S. Highway 17 (Florida)|US 17]] from [[Orlando, Florida|Orlando]] to [[Jacksonville, Florida|Jacksonville]]
* [[U.S. Route 1 (Florida)|US 1]] / [[U.S. Route 23 (Florida)|US 23]] from [[Jacksonville, Florida|Jacksonville]] to [[Georgia (U.S. state)|Georgia]]
* [[U.S. Route 301 (Florida)|US 301]] from [[Callahan, Florida|Callahan]] to [[Georgia (U.S. state)|Georgia]] (co-signed with US 1 and US 23)
SR 15 is locally maintained along Mills Avenue in [[Orlando, Florida|Orlando]] from [[State Road 526 (Florida)|SR 526]] (Robinson Street) to [[State Road 50 (Florida)|SR 50]] (Colonial Drive).

==History==
Prior to the [[1945 Florida State Road renumbering|1945 renumbering]], the route that became SR 15 had the following numbers:
* [[Florida State Road 143 (pre-1945)|SR 143]] from [[Belle Glade, Florida|Belle Glade]] to [[Canal Point, Florida|Canal Point]]
* [[Florida State Road 194 (pre-1945)|SR 194]] from [[Canal Point, Florida|Canal Point]] to south of [[Okeechobee, Florida|Okeechobee]]
* [[Florida State Road 29 (pre-1945)|SR 29]] from south of [[Okeechobee, Florida|Okeechobee]] to [[Orlando, Florida|Orlando]]
* [[Florida State Road 24 (pre-1945)|SR 24]] from [[Holopaw, Florida|Holopaw]] to [[Ashton, Florida|Ashton]]
* [[Florida State Road 3A (pre-1945)|SR 3A]] in downtown [[Orlando, Florida|Orlando]]
* [[Florida State Road 3 (pre-1945)|SR 3]] from [[Orlando, Florida|Orlando]] to south of [[Jacksonville, Florida]]
* [[Florida State Road 21 (pre-1945)|SR 21]] north of downtown [[DeLand, Florida|DeLand]]
* [[Florida State Road 28 (pre-1945)|SR 28]] from [[San Mateo, Florida|San Mateo]] to [[Palatka, Florida|Palatka]]
* [[Florida State Road 14 (pre-1945)|SR 14]] from [[East Palatka, Florida|East Palatka]] to [[Palatka, Florida|Palatka]]
* [[Florida State Road 48 (pre-1945)|SR 48]] in [[Green Cove Springs, Florida|Green Cove Springs]]
* [[Florida State Road 363 (pre-1945)|SR 363]] from south of [[Jacksonville, Florida|Jacksonville]] to [[Jacksonville, Florida|Jacksonville]]
* [[Florida State Road 3 (pre-1945)|SR 3]] in downtown [[Jacksonville, Florida|Jacksonville]]
* [[Florida State Road 4 (pre-1945)|SR 4]] from [[Jacksonville, Florida]] to [[Georgia (U.S. state)|Georgia]]
SR 15 was defined in the [[1945 Florida state Road renumbering|1945 renumbering]] as:
* Extending from [[State Road 80 (Florida)|SR 80]] in [[Belle Glade, Florida|Belle Glade]] in [[Palm Beach County, Florida|Palm Beach County]] in a general Northwesterly direction 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.
