State Road 500A (SR 500A) is a short signed state highway in Tavares, in Lake County, Florida, connecting US 441 (SR 500) with SR 19.[3][4] Other alignments have existed, including Lake County's CR Old 441, CR 500A in Orange County, between SR 19 and US 441 through Tavares, Eustis and Mount Dora; and a former section of US 192 in eastern Osceola County.[5] Old USGS maps show the abandoned section of the Kissimmee Highway between Lake Conlin (also known as Lake X) and Deer Park having been SR 500A at some point.
