context_page_description: U.S. Route 19 runs 264 miles along Florida's west coast from an interchange with U.S. Route 41 in Memphis, Florida, south of Tampa, and continues to the Georgia border north of Monticello, Florida.
  As is the case with all Florida roads with federal designations, the entirety of US 19 has a hidden Florida Department of Transportation designation:
  State Road 55 from the US route's southern terminus at US 41 south of Terra Ceia to the junction with US 221 / SR 55 north in Perry.
  State Road 30 from the junction with US 221 / SR 55 in Perry for roughly one mile to the junction with US 27 south / US 98 west via US 221 Truck.
  State Road 20 from the junction with US 27/US 98 in Perry cosigning with US 27 until the routes split in Capps.
  State Road 57 from the US 27/SR 20 split in Capps to the Georgia state line north of Texas Hill.
  US 19 remains independent of I-75, even as the routes converge in the Tampa Bay Area. The route is co-signed with Interstate 275 over the Sunshine Skyway Bridge, a cable-stayed bridge over the mouth of Tampa Bay, US 98 between Chassahowitzka and Perry, Alternate US 27 between Chiefland and Perry, and US 27 between and Perry and Capps.
