Belize has four major asphalt-paved two-lane roads:
Phillip Goldson Highway (formerly Northern Highway) between Belize City and the Mexican border north of Corozal (95 miles)
George Price Highway (formerly Western Highway) between Belize City and the Guatemalan border near Benque Viejo del Carmen (81 miles)
Hummingbird Highway from Belmopan to Dangriga (55 miles)
Southern Highway from Dangriga to Punta Gorda
Most maps also display Old Northern Highway, which provides access to Altun Ha. This road is a single lane and paved in places, but deteriorates dramatically immediately north from the access road to the ruins.
There is also the "Coastal Highway", also known as the Manatee Highway or the Shortcut, which joins the Western Highway 30 miles (48 km) west of Belize City with the Stann Creek Valley near Dangriga, but it is all gravel, washboarded, and may wash out in heavy rains.
