State Road 5A is a north south highway that begins and ends at U.S. Highway 1 (unsigned State Road 5), in Port Orange and Ormond Beach, respectively. It is noted that when 5A was built, it was used more as a bypass or beltway, but in recent years with growth reaching far beyond 5A, it sees more use as a major thoroughfare that passes through the heart of the region. Also known as Nova Road.

[edit] Former State Road 5As
This is not the only instance of an SR 5A, signed or unsigned; in fact, there have been several of such in existence:
This list is incomplete; you can help by expanding it.
- Flagler Avenue from First Street to South Roosevelt Drive (State Road A1A) in Key West - now Monroe County Road 5A
- Krome Avenue (now State Road 997) in Florida City and North Flagler Avenue (formerly U.S. Highway 1 Business) in Homestead - the BUS US 1 designation was removed in 1969.
- Portions of West Dixie Highway and Old Federal Highway from State Road 826 in North Miami Beach to US 1 in Dania Beach - designation removed in the late 1990s.
- State Road 5A was also a short connector between Federal Highway (US 1) and the former State Road A1A (Southeast Dixie Highway, now County Road A1A) in Stuart. The connector is now County Road 5A.
- Stuckway Road from US 1 to Interstate 95 (SR 9) near Scottsmoor - originally unsigned, now Brevard County Road 5A.
