The segment of road located in Pompano Beach is maintained by the city as of 2016, and is not part of the state highway system.

Parallelling both US 1 to the east and Interstate 95 to the west, Dixie Highway is a major north–south commercial access road for northeastern Broward County cities.

While much of the property that lines SR 811 is residential in nature, most of the route is adjacent to Florida East Coast Railroad tracks.

In Boca Raton, Dixie Highway serves as the border between "east" and west" street designations and addresses.

Both of these roads closely parallel the Florida East Coast Railroad, and are renamed segments of Dixie Highway.

Just west of the northern terminus of CR 811A is the Pompano Park Raceway, the only harness racing track in southern Florida.
