Appearance
A typical multi-lane highway with grassy medians and shoulders that collect abundant trash from passing motorists. It features enough space for groups to safely conduct cleanup activities, though close enough to traffic that volunteers remain vulnerable to additional littering from passing vehicles.
Key Events
- Cleaning Up and Making Up: In Clean Slate, the Environmental Club descends upon the Northern Highway for a litter cleanup project. Amidst the discarded wrappers and wayward refuse, Abbey and Jasmine share a poignant moment, with Jasmine apologizing for her past misdeeds and the two bonding over their shared Paulo problems.[1] But it's not all tender heart-to-hearts - Abbey's quick thinking turns the tables on a littering driver, using their license plate for a bit of well-deserved pranking revenge.[2]
- The Warehouse at Exit 14: When Lucy's suicide attempt sends shockwaves through Roseville, it's Augustus who makes the fateful 911 call. His words echo through the phone line: "The abandoned warehouse... off Exit 14 of the Northern Highway."[3] With those simple directions, the Northern Highway becomes forever linked to one of the comic's darkest moments.
