People perform mundane community service along this perpetually littered stretch of asphalt, which also marks the way to one of the series’ darkest moments.
Appearance
A typical multi-lane highway with grassy medians and shoulders that collect abundant trash from passing motorists. There’s enough space for groups to conduct cleanup activities safely, though volunteers remain close enough to traffic to be vulnerable to more litter from passing vehicles.
Key Events
- Cleaning Up and Making Up: In Clean Slate, the Environmental Club heads to the Northern Highway for a litter cleanup project. Among the discarded wrappers and other refuse, Jasmine apologizes to Abbey for her past misdeeds, and the two bond over their shared Paulo problems.[1] Abbey also turns the tables on a littering driver by using their license plate for a bit of well-deserved pranking revenge.[2]
- The Warehouse at Exit 14: When Lucy’s suicide attempt shocks Roseville, Augustus makes the 911 call. He tells the operator, “The abandoned warehouse... off Exit 14 of the Northern Highway.”[3] That call forever ties the Northern Highway’s name to one of the comic’s darkest moments.
