The state road lines Drew Street, an urban boulevard east from U.S. 19 Alternate outside Downtown Clearview to NE Coachman Road. Angling northeast, Coachman Road connects with U.S. 19 at 10th Avenue S, which extends SR 590 east to Dellwood and CR 611 (McMullen Booth Road). Through the city of Safety Harbor, SR 590 takes a stair stepped route along 10th Avenue S, 14th Avenue S, 4th Avenue S and 10th Avenue S again to Main Street (CR 576). State maintenance ends at 10th Avenue S and Main Street continues east through Downtown Safety Harbor to Phillippe Parkway. SR 590 turned north there and follows Phillippe Parkway as it parallels the west shore of Safety Harbor. North from Wateredge Court, the northern segment of SR 590 overlays Phillippe Parkway to SR 580 at Bridgeport.

State Road 595 is a 37.31 mile long route that accompanies U.S. 19 Alternate throughout Pinellas County. The route is posted along side the U.S. 19 Alternate (5th Avenue N) spur east from U.S. 19 (34th Street S) to the west end of U.S. 92 and SR 687 along 4th Street S in St. Petersburg. The remainder of SR 595 is unsigned along U.S. 19 Alternate north from Bay Pines through Seminole, Largo, Clearwater, Dunedin, Palm Harbor and Tarpon Springs. SR 595 and U.S. 19 Alternate conclude just across the Pasco County line at Holiday.

SR 666 is a 1.39 mile long connector that follows 150th Avenue and Tom Stuart Causeway between SR 699 (Gulf Boulevard) in Madeira Beach and the three-wye interchange with U.S. 19 Alternate / SR 595 (Bay Pines Boulevard / Seminole Boulevard) in Seminole.

The interchange between SR 666 and U.S. 19 Alternate is a remnant of a freeway that was once proposed for the SR 595 and U.S. 19 Alternate corridor between Interstate 275 and Largo via Seminole. Known as the Pinellas Belt Expressway, this freeway was proposed in 1974 for construction by 1979, but it was removed from plans as a result of community opposition.

Guides:

SR 682 is a 3.72 mile route that follows the Pinellas Bayway from SR 699 (Gulf Boulevard) in St. Pete Beach east to Interstate 275 and U.S. 19 (34th Street S) near Eckerd College in St. Petersburg. Tolls are collected along the Bayway eastbound over the Intracoastal Waterway and westbound over Boca Ciega Bay Channel. The eastern portion of SR 682 follows 54th Avenue S.

State Road 686 is a 10.82 mile route that begins at the intersection of U.S. 19 Alternate (Seminole Boulevard / Missouri Avenue) and West Bay Drive in the city of Largo. Eastward, SR 686 travels along East Bay Drive, changing into Roosevelt Boulevard at the diamond interchange with U.S. 19. 1.25 miles from there, Roosevelt Boulevard angles southeast to St. Petersburg-Clearwater International Airport (PIE), where the tolled Gateway Expressway (SR 686A) is being built alongside SR 686.

SR 686 turns east from below the Gateway Expessway (SR 686A) at a SPUI joining the toll road with SR 688 (Ulmerton Road). SR 686/688 overlap 1.03 miles east along Ulmerton Road to a wye interchange with the southern leg of Roosevelt Boulevard by Feather Sound. SR 688 extends 1.51 miles east along Ulmerton Road to Interstate 275 north while SR 686 (Roosevelt Boulevard) advances southeast to Carillon, Interstate 275 south and SR 694 (Gandy Boulevard) in north St. Petersburg.

A portion of SR 686 that is concurrent with SR 688 near the airport was considered in the early 1970s for the Ulmerton Expressway, which would have followed all of SR 688 from Largo east to Interstate 275. That freeway was canceled by the mid-1970s. Prior to 2017, the eastern end of the state road tied into a congested intersection with U.S. 92 and SR 687 (4th Street N) at both the ends of SR 694 (Gandy Boulevard) and unsigned SR 600, the companion of U.S. 92 (Gandy Boulevard) east to the Gandy Bridge. A split diamond interchange was constructed here during the $83 million project that upgraded 2.5 miles of SR 694 to freeway standards.

State Road 687 runs parallel to Interstate 275 from Downtown St. Petersburg north to the Howard Frankland Bridge approach at Big Island. The state road runs almost entirely along 4th Street, with the exception of the one way couplet through Downtown where northbound utilizes 3rd Street and one block of 5th Avenue N. SR 687 doubles as U.S. 92 between 5th Avenue N (U.S. 19 Alternate / SR 595) and Gandy Boulevard (SR 600 / 694). This overlap is fully signed.

Historically SR 687 continued south from Interstate 175 and SR 594 (5th Avenue S) through south St. Petersburg to Pinellas Point. This alignment utilized 4th Street S to Big Bayou and 6th Street S from there to 45th Avenue S and 4th Street S again to Pinellas Point Drive. Some maps show an east to west branch of SR 687 routed along Pinellas Point Drive, Royhanna Drive and 62nd Avenue S between U.S. 19 and 4th Street S.

SR 688 comprises a 13.33 mile long state road between Indian Rocks Beach at the north end of SR 699 (Gulf Boulevard) and Interstate 275 at Exit 31B in north St. Petersburg. SR 688 follows 5th Avenue through Indian Rocks Beach, crosses the Intracoastal Waterway, then enters the vicinity of Largo via Walsingham Road. A direct connection from Walsingham Road to Ulmerton Road curves SR 688 northeast around Ridgecrest County Park to a due east heading to Largo Mall, northern reaches of Pinellas Park and St. Pete-Clearwater International Airport (PIE).

SR 688 (Ulmerton Road) combines with SR 686 east from the SPUI with the Gateway Expressway (SR 686A) near PIE Airport 1.03 miles to Roosevelt Boulevard south at Carillon. An upgrade of SR 686 along Ulmerton Road was previously considered in the early 1970s for the proposed Ulmerton Expressway. Cancelled due to local opposition by the mid 1970s, the freeway that would have connected Largo with Interstate 275.

The Gateway Expressway is a toll road system with separate branches linking Interstate 275 with U.S. 19 and St. Petersburg-Clearwater International Airport (PIE). SR 690 will overlay CR 296 (118th Avenue N / Bryan Dairy Road) along a four lane elevated roadway west from I-275 to U.S. 19. SR 686A will comprise a four lane viaduct system running along SR 686 (Roosevelt Boulevard) southeast from the Bayside Bridge (CR 611) to SR 690 just west of I-275. Both expressways will use all electronic tolling (AET).

Costing $594.7 million, construction on the Gateway Express project commenced in November 2017. Associated work reconstructs Roosevelt Boulevard from the Bayside Bridge to SR 688 (Ulmerton Road), adds a new access road for PIE Airport, and expands I-275 between SR 694 (Gandy Boulevard) and SR 687 (4th Street N) with express toll lanes. Work runs through <del>late 2021</del> early 2023.

SR 693 begins in the business district of St. Pete Beach at the turn of SR 699 from 75th Street to Blind Pass Road. The state road provides the first toll free crossing (Corey Causeway) of the Intracoastal Waterway north of the Pinellas Bayway as it leads northeast to South Pasadena and St. Petersburg. Skirting the west side of Pinellas Park, SR 693 lines 66th Street N until it converges with U.S. 19 (SR 55) in eastern reaches of Largo. The state road is 11.96 miles long.

Collectively Park Boulevard to the west and Gandy Boulevard to the east, the combination of County and State Road 694 travels across Pinellas County between Indian Shores and St. Petersburg. The county road portion originates at SR 699 (Gulf Boulevard) along the Park Boulevard Bridge (78th Avenue Bridge) spanning the Intracoastal Waterway east to Oakhurst. The arterial route proceeds across the city of Seminole into Pinellas Park, where it becomes State Road 694 at 66th Street N (SR 693).

SR 694 extends 6.04 miles east initially as a commercial boulevard to The Shoppes at Park Place Mall and a SPUI with U.S. 19 and northeast as a controlled access expressway from Grand Avenue to the five-way intersection with 4th Street N (U.S. 92 and SR 687) and Roosevelt Boulevard (SR 686) in St. Petersburg.

The Gandy Freeway was proposed as a 12.6 mile long freeway that would have connected directly to the Gandy Bridge (and to the Leroy Selmon Crosstown Expressway in Hillsborough County). It was first considered in the 1960s but was canceled by 1979. A subsequent project started in 2014 upgraded Gandy Boulevard from I-275 east to 4th Street N to a limited access highway, with bridges over Dr. Martin Luther King Street (CR 803), SR 686 (Roosevelt Boulevard) and SR 687. Construction wrapped up in Spring 2018.

Following the Gulf of Mexico barrier islands in southwest Pinellas County, State Road 699 travels 16.49 miles north from St. Pete Beach to Indian Rocks Beach. The route is more popularly known as Gulf Boulevard, which it follows for its entirely except between 75th Avenue and Blind Pass on Sand Key.

SR 699 used to continue further south and north from its current end points. The southern extension took it along Pass-a-Grill Way between Pinellas Bayway and Pass-a-Grille Point. North from Indian Rocks Beach, SR 699 continued along Gulf Boulevard through to the then tolled Clearwater Pass Bridge linking Long Key with Clearwater Beach Island. Additionally an eastern branch was signed along Madeira Beach Causeway. This is now SR 666. Some historical maps, including the USGS Quadrangle map, also show Corey Causeway (SR 693) as another branch of SR 699.

Pinellas County Roads are generally only signed in unincorporated areas. This leaves some routes with few markers and others completely unsigned.
