State Road 94 is commonly known as North Kendall Drive, Kendall Drive, or Southwest 88th Street. It serves as a primary east-west route in Miami-Dade County. Its current endpoints are SR 997 (Krome Avenue) and U.S. Route 1 (South Dixie Highway/Pinecrest Parkway). Until a series of truncations throughout the system of States Roads by the Florida Department of Transportation, SR 94 extended eastward to SR 959 at the intersection of Kendall Drive and Red Road (Southwest 88th Street and 57th Avenue) in Pinecrest; both State Roads were cut back to US 1 by 2001.
SR 94 is not to be confused with the defunct US 94 -- itself SR 90 -- which was absorbed by US 41 in 1949. SR 94 should also not be confused with Loop Road...a roadway which connects to US 41 in two different locations forming a loop in Big Cypress National Preserve. Loop Road, which is still numbered 94 on most maps, is managed by the National Park Service and no longer has any numbered designation.
The road itself is crucial once west of US 1, it becomes the last southern exit for the Palmetto Expressway just west of Dadeland Mall while connecting to every single major highway that runs into Kendall. For those who live and do business in Kendall, the Florida Turnpike exit just west of 117th Avenue is of utmost importance as it is the primary entrance into what is the westernmost highway that Kendall has. There are rumors that the Metrorail may expand and use Kendall Drive as one of the roads it follows into Western Dade.
