→State Road 794 (SR 794) is a 2.87-mile-long (4.62 km) east–west street in Boca Raton, Florida. Locally known as Yamato Road and more rarely Northwest 51st Street, the western terminus of SR 794 is an intersection with Military Trail (CR 809, formerly SR 809) near the T-Rex Technology Center of Boca Raton and Broken Sound Golf Course; the eastern terminus is an intersection with Federal Highway (U.S. Route 1 and unsigned State Road 5) just east of Dixie Highway. SR 794 is primarily an access road between Interstate 95 (unsigned State Road 9) and US 1. Within 1-mile (1.6 km) of its termini are Lynn University and Boca Raton Airport. To the west of Military Trail, Yamato continues 6.4 miles (10.3 km) westward without state or county road designation until its terminus at U.S. Route 441 in a residential development just west of Boca Raton.
Route description
SR 794 begins at the intersection of Yamato Road and Military Trail (CR 809) in the country club neighborhoods of Boca Raton. The highway heads eastward as the eight-lane arterial boulevard. SR 794 continues through the country clubs, passing to the south of Broken Sound Golf Course and to the north of the local residential developments. The road then turns to the northwest, passing the Boca Raton Tri-Rail station.[3]
After crossing a riverbank, SR 794 continues eastward as an eight-lane arterial, which crosses the Tri-Rail line after intersecting with ramps to I-95 southbound. The highway continues eastward as a six-lane arterial into the partial cloverleaf interchange, crossing under the interstate and entering a densely populated part of Boca Raton. The road becomes surrounded by a mix of commercial and residential developments before crossing a local freight railroad and SR 811 (Dixie Highway). Continuing eastward, SR 794 goes for a short distance further into Boca Raton, ending at an intersection with US 1 (and unsigned SR 5).[3]
Major intersections
The entire route is in Palm Beach County.
