It begins at an interchange with the Sawgrass Expressway in Coral Springs and ends at North Federal Highway (US 1) at the city limits boundary between Pompano Beach and Lighthouse Point.

Eastbound travelers overshooting the SR 834 terminus find themselves on a 1-mile (1.6 km) 36th Street in Lighthouse Point, which dead-ends at a canal cut for the Intracoastal Waterway.

The road heads east 2.9 miles (4.7 km) through primarily residential zones before its first major intersection with University Drive.

The road then heads east, bisecting Tradewinds Park before its interchange with Florida's Turnpike.

Sample Road is also mentioned in the hidden track of Nothing Gold Can Stay (album) by Coral Springs natives New Found Glory.
