[5] SR 909 is actually in two pieces as motorists traveling the route in North Miami encounter signs on North Miami Boulevard (Florida State Road 922 [SR 922]/Northeast 125th Street) saying "TO 909" and "To W Dixie Hwy" and guiding them along a two-block "detour" to the other section.

Due to its orientation, SR 909 creates oblique junctions and six-way intersections with surrounding streets.

The West Dixie Highway is edged by storefronts as the road continues for the next three-quarters of a mile towards SR 916 (Northeast 135th Street).

Shops lining the street continue as the norm as SR 909 carries on north-eastwards, interspersed with some low-rise apartment complexes.

As SR 909 approaches the Florida East Coast Railway tracks, it turns northwards and enters another commercial district.
