Brevard County, Florida (located in the East of Central Florida), operates a system of county roads that serve all portions of the county. The Brevard County Public Works Department, Road and Bridge Division, is responsible for maintaining all of the Brevard County roads. Most of the county roads are city streets and rural roads.

The numbers and routes of all Florida highways are assigned by the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT), while county road numbers are assigned by the counties, with guidance from FDOT.{{cite web|url=http://www.dot.state.fl.us/planning/statistics/hwysys/|title=Florida Department of Transportation, Highway Systems, Numbering and Jurisdiction|access-date=2011-01-17}} North-south routes are generally assigned odd numbers, while east-west routes are generally assigned even numbers.{{cite web|url=http://www.dot.state.fl.us/planning/statistics/hwysys/jurisdictionhandbook.pdf|title=Florida Department of Transportation, Road Jurisdiction and Numbering Handbook|access-date=2011-01-17}}

CR 3 (former SR 3General Highway Map, Brevard County, March 1966, reprinted April/January 1972: [http://ufdc.ufl.edu/UF00015965/00001/1x?vo=32 sheet 1] and [http://ufdc.ufl.edu/UF00015966/00001/1x?vo=32 sheet 2]) is a north–south highway. It begins at an intersection with SR 513 in Indian Harbour Beach and ends at an intersection with SR 520 in Merritt Island, Florida.

For the first five miles the route is extremely narrow, narrowing down to 1.5 lanes in some cases. As a consequence, the speed limit is a low 25 mph.{{Cite web|url=https://www.google.com/maps/@28.1513964,-80.6092377,3a,75y,355.97h,74.49t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1siF4lmLhmMJfXN-U7TyBm9g!2e0!7i13312!8i6656|title=Google Maps}} Later, the speed limit rises to 35 mph.

The road turns left around Georgianna to follow Tropical Trail. The road is known locally as Banana River Drive for the first half mile and Tropical Trail for the remaining distance.{{Cite web|url=https://www.google.com/maps/@28.1485253,-80.6055911,17.5z|title=Google Maps}}{{Cite web|url=https://www.google.com/maps/@28.1698066,-80.6196143,16.75z|title = Google Maps}}

CR 5A (former Florida State Road 5A), known locally as Deering Parkway, is a {{convert|1.06|mi|adj=on}} long county road located entirely within the Brevard County Game Refuge in the unincorporated community of Scottsmoor.

The highway begins at exit 231 from I-95 and travels due northeast through woodlands until it terminates at an intersection with US 1.

County Road 509 (former SR 509) is a major north–south throughway in southern and central Brevard County, Florida. The road extends {{Convert|19|mi|km}} from Palm Bay to Viera. North of New Haven Avenue (US 192/SR 500) in West Melbourne, CR 509 is known locally as Wickham Road; south of the U.S. Highway, its street name is Minton Road (in the 1980s and 1990s, this {{convert|5.6|mi}} section of current CR 509 was signed by Florida Department of Transportation as State Road 509).

It carries up to 37,960 vehicles daily.{{Cite news | first=Rick | last=Neale | title=Smooth (er) sailing | url=http://www.floridatoday.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=2013304250002| newspaper=Florida Today | location=Melbourne, Florida | pages= 1A | date=April 25, 2013 }}

The current southern terminus of County Road 509 is an intersection with Malabar Road (CR 514, a westward extension of State Road 514); the northern terminus is an interchange with Interstate 95 (SR 9) in the midst of Pineda, Suntree, and Viera.

=History=

The northern section of the road was named after the Wickham family, including John Q. Wickham, a Brevard county surveyor and Joe Wickham, a prominent Brevard County politician. Joe Wickham worked with the county to clear the route in 1950s. Since the road led to an undeveloped area, some viewed the project with skepticism. However, the planned road made sense because it ran between two ranges 36 and 37, which effectively divided the county in half.johneriksen.net. [http://johneriksen.net/blog/suntree-florida-past-and-present/ "Suntree, Florida: past and present"]. Retrieved on December 10, 2017. Upon completion, the road led to development of Suntree and Viera in the late 1970s. Development in the area on the northern terminus picked up considerably with the completion of I-95.

In 1929, Malabar Road was extended to the north.Eriksen, John M. [http://johneriksen.net/bc/bc_cb.htm Brevard County, Florida : A Short History to 1955] See Chapter 10. Later, this northern section of Malabar was redesignated as Minton Road, named after Alton M. Minton, who owned a drug store at Mintons Corner Shopping Center. By 1957, the locals referred to the area this road traveled through as Minton's Corner.Shofner, Jerrell H. History of Brevard County, Volume 2 (Stuart, Florida, 1996), p. 155. In the early 1980s, Brevard County exercised eminent domain and purchased 18 houses to clear land in a road improvement project near the intersection between Wickham and Minton roads.Morton, Peter. "Look at the Past: Realignment of Minton Road", The Sun Newsletter, West Melbourne, Florida, November/December 2019, page 4. This project aligned Minton Road with Wickham Road.

In 2013, a county commissioner reported that Minton is probably the heaviest traveled route in the county. He added that it was failing for lack of proper maintenance.{{Cite news | first=Scott | last=Gunnerson | title=Road work falls miles behind | url=http://www.floridatoday.com/article/20131229/NEWS01/312290055/Road-work-Brevard-falls-miles-behind| newspaper=Florida Today | location=Melbourne, Florida| pages= 1A | date=December 29, 2013 | access-date=December 29, 2013}}

County Road 511 (former SR 511) consists of a north–south street and an east–west avenue in the Melbourne, Florida, area. The {{convert|8.1|mi|adj=on}} road is locally known as John Rodes Boulevard and Aurora Road. The southern terminus of CR 511 is an intersection with New Haven Avenue (US 192-SR 500) in June Park, just outside the city limits of West Melbourne and three blocks from a diamond interchange between New Haven Avenue and Interstate 95 (SR 9); the eastern terminus is an intersection with Harbor City Boulevard (US 1-SR 5) in the Eau Gallie section of Melbourne.

John Rodes Boulevard extends four miles (6 km) north–south between US 192 and Aurora Road, which continues CR 511 as an east–west commercial and residential street. Until the late 1990s, the southernmost {{convert|3.0|mi|km}} of CR 511/John Rodes Boulevard (south of Eau Gallie Boulevard/SR 518) was signed by Florida Department of Transportation as State Road 511. The former State Road serves as an access road for I-95. The southernmost {{convert|3.0|mi|km}} of John Rodes Boulevard has several communities along it. One of these is Hammock Trace Preserve, which is about {{convert|1|mi|km|adj=on}} south of Eau Gallie Blvd on John Rodes Blvd.

While Aurora Road has maintained its importance as a commercial and residential avenue, the character of John Rodes Boulevard has changed since the 1980s due to population growth in June Park, Melbourne, West Melbourne, and nearby Palm Bay. Urbanization has replaced much of the woodland on both sides on the former SR 511 as trees gave way to business and industrial parks, trailer parks, and suburban residential developments.

=History=

John Rodes Boulevard was named after John B. Rodes, a local politician.John B. Rodes Boulevard memorial. Aurora Road was initially named 5th Street as town of Eau Gallie was first established.Raley, Karen and Ann Raley Flotte. Images of America: Melbourne and Eau Gallie (Charleston, SC: Arcadia Publishing, 2002), p. 66. Later, a local resident renamed it Aurora Road after his hometown in Illinois.Melbourne Chamber of Commerce. Melbourne: A Century of Memories (Melbourne, FL: National Printing, Inc., 1980), p. 86.

County Road 516 (former SR 516), locally known as Palm Bay Road, is a former state highway in Brevard County, located entirely in Palm Bay. Between CR 509 and State Road 507, it forms the southern borders of the cities of West Melbourne and Melbourne. CR 516 is mostly 6 lanes wide.

File:Pbsignpatriotic cropped.jpg of Palm Bay Road]]

The western terminus is with an intersection of CR 509 in Palm Bay, just 262 inches south of West Melbourne. Just west of Interstate 95, an access road called Culver Drive spurs off Emerson Drive and provides access to Interstate 95 for residents of Palm Bay enclosed by CR 509, SR 514, Interstate 95, and Palm Bay Road itself. At Interstate 95, Palm Bay Road forms an overpass that has the name "Palm Bay" on both sides of the overpass. It was erected in 2002, and modified ever since. The eastern terminus is with an intersection with FL 507 in eastern Palm Bay.
