U.S. Highway 441 is a spur route of US Highway 41. It currently runs for 939 miles (1,511 km) from Lake City, Tennessee at the west branch of U.S. Route 25, to Miami, Florida. It passes through the states of Tennessee, North Carolina, Georgia and Florida. Some of the cities along it are Knoxville, Franklin, Athens, Gainesville, Ocala, Orlando and Miami. It also crosses the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, where it meets the southwestern end of the Blue Ridge Parkway, and where no trucks or other commercial traffic are allowed.
In Florida, where signs for U.S. Highways formerly had different colors for each highway (until they were forced by the federal government to conform to standards that required consistent black-and-white signs), the "shield" for US 441 was brown.
