State Road 852, locally known as County Line Road and North 215th Street, is a 2.5-mile-long east–west highway straddling the boundary between Broward and Miami-Dade counties in Florida. The western terminus is an intersection with SR 817 (West 27th Avenue in Miami-Dade County, University Drive in Broward); the eastern terminus is an intersection with US 441 (State Road 7 in Broward County, Northwest 2 Avenue in Miami-Dade). The state road designation is omitted on many maps, but the street itself is signed by the Florida Department of Transportation. Prior to a change of designation in 1983, the same stretch of County Line Road was signed State Road 872 by FDOT (at the same time SR 852 signs lined a street that later became SR 854, also in 1983), one mile (1.6 km) to the south of County Line Road.

The westernmost mile of SR 852 is wedged between the property line of Calder Race Track and an embankment atop which the Turnpike extension is constructed. At roughly the midpoint of SR 852 is an onramp to the mainline Turnpike (SR 91); further east, County Line Road passes by a collection of television and radio transmission towers.

Beyond the eastern terminus of State Road 852, County Line Road passes through a suburban residential area until it ends at West Dixie Highway near Gulfstream Park Race Track.
