Guam Highway 1
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Guam Highway 1 is one of the primary automobile routes in the United States territory of Guam. Named Marine Corps Drive throughout its length (it was known as simply Marine Drive until the road was rededicated in 2004 [1]), it runs from the main gate of Naval Base Guam in the western community of Santa Rita, past a junction with Guam Highway 2A, in a general northeasterly direction to the main gate of Andersen Air Force Base in the community of Yigo, where it meets Guam Highway 9.
Like most major highways on Guam, a 35 mph (56 km/h) speed limit is posted throughout its length. In the past, Route 1 was one of the few roads to post a 45 mph (72 km/h) limit on lengths of less-developed roadway. However, as more of the island became developed, the speed limit throughout the road was reduced back to the 35-mph norm.
