Northern Highway (Belize)
The Northern Highway in Belize joins Belize City through Orange Walk Town and Corozal Town with the Mexican border at the state of Quintana Roo. Crude side-roads suitable only for over-land vehicles connect to such localities as Aguas Turbias, on the corner where Belize, Mexico and Guatemala meet.
On 21 September 2012, Prime Minister Dean Barrow announced that the Northern Highway would be renamed the Phillip Goldson Highway, named after a Belizean activist, editor and politician. The highway also passes the international airport also named for Mr. Goldson.

“The northern sky rose high and black
Over the proud unfruitful sea,
East and west the ships came back
Happily or unhappily....”

At Cherrylog Road I entered
The ‘34 Ford without wheels,
Smothered in kudzu,
With a seat pulled out to run
Corn whiskey down from the hills,”
