State Road 808 is a major commuter route connecting the four major north–south arteries of Palm Beach County: US 441/SR 7, Florida's Turnpike/SR 91, Interstate 95/SR 9, and US 1/SR 5. In addition, it serves as a terminus for SR 845. Near the eastern terminus of SR 808 are the main campus of Florida Atlantic University and Boca Raton Airport (the terminal of which can be accessed via taking Airport Road 1.2 miles north to Spanish River Boulevard (SR 800).[2]
West of US 441, Glades Road continues and turns southward, becoming University Drive (without a State designation), terminating at Palmetto Park Road. According to maps published by Fort Lauderdale-based Dolph Map Company, an extension of the small segment of University Drive has been proposed to connect to the present-day University Drive (State Road 817) in Broward County. No indication is given of whether the extension would be a state or county road or what number designation it would have if any.
State Road 808 was established in 1945 in its current route. Prior to the 1945 renumbering, the road was known as State Road 395.
The entire route is located in Palm Beach County.
