'''Sample Road''', mostly signed as '''State Road 834''' ('''SR 834'''),  is a {{convert|12.391|mi|km|adj=mid|-long}} east–west [commuter](/source/commuting) highway serving northern [Broward County, Florida](/source/Broward_County%2C_Florida).  It begins at an interchange with the [Sawgrass Expressway](/source/Florida_State_Road_869) in [Coral Springs](/source/Coral_Springs%2C_Florida) and ends at North Federal Highway ([US 1](/source/U.S._Route_1_(Florida))) at the city limits boundary between [Pompano Beach](/source/Pompano_Beach%2C_Florida) and [Lighthouse Point](/source/Lighthouse_Point%2C_Florida). Eastbound travelers overshooting the SR 834 terminus find themselves on a {{convert|1|mi|km|adj=on}} 36th Street in Lighthouse Point, which [dead-ends](/source/cul-de-sac) at a [canal](/source/canal) cut for the [Intracoastal Waterway](/source/Intracoastal_Waterway).

The westernmost {{convert|2.9|mi|km}} of Sample Road are designated, but not signed, as '''County Road 834'''.<ref name="broward map"/>

==Route description==
thumb|left|I-95 exit for SR 834
Like most major east-west throughways in Coral Springs, SR 834 begins at the [Sawgrass Expressway (SR 869)](/source/Florida_State_Road_869). The road heads east {{convert|2.9|mi|km}} through primarily residential zones before its first major intersection with [University Drive](/source/Florida_State_Road_817).<ref name="broward map">{{cite map |publisher= Florida Department of Transportation |title= General Highway Map of Broward County, Florida |year= 2008 |url= http://www.dot.state.fl.us/surveyingandmapping/geomap/brow_c.pdf |accessdate= March 4, 2013 |archive-date= May 30, 2012 |archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20120530161831/http://www.dot.state.fl.us/surveyingandmapping/geomap/brow_c.pdf |url-status= dead }}</ref> After passing University Drive, SR 834 passes through more residential zones, with [Coral Springs High School](/source/Coral_Springs_High_School) located {{convert|1.8|mi|km}} east of the intersection.

SR 834 forms an interchange with [US 441](/source/U.S._Route_441_in_Florida) ([SR 7](/source/Florida_State_Road_7)) where the city limits of Coral Springs, [Margate](/source/Margate%2C_Florida), and [Coconut Creek](/source/Coconut_Creek%2C_Florida) intersect. After the interchange, SR 834 forms the border between Margate and Coconut Creek for {{convert|0.6|mi|km}} before completely entering Coconut Creek. The road then heads east, bisecting [Tradewinds Park](/source/Tradewinds_Park) before its interchange with [Florida's Turnpike](/source/Florida's_Turnpike).

After passing the Turnpike, SR 834 forms the northern border of [Pompano Beach](/source/Pompano_Beach%2C_Florida), and after intersecting [Powerline Road](/source/Florida_State_Road_845), it also forms the southern border of [Deerfield Beach](/source/Deerfield_Beach%2C_Florida). SR 834's next major intersection is with [Interstate 95](/source/Interstate_95_in_Florida).

SR 834 has one more intersection with [North Dixie Highway](/source/Florida_State_Road_811) before the state road designation ends at its intersection with [North Federal Highway](/source/U.S._Route_1_in_Florida). East of Federal Highway, the road continues east for about a mile before ending just before the [Intracoastal Waterway](/source/Intracoastal_Waterway).

==History==
Sample Road was for several years designated as S-834, part of the Florida secondary highway system.  In the 1980s, most secondary routes were given to the counties, but 834 was promoted to a primary route.  Subsequently, the designation of the former primary SR 834 in Dade County was reassigned to the [State Road 948](/source/Florida_State_Road_948) designation.

Sample Road is also mentioned in the hidden track of [''Nothing Gold Can Stay''](/source/Nothing_Gold_Can_Stay_(album)) by Coral Springs natives [New Found Glory](/source/New_Found_Glory).{{cn|date=October 2025}}
