What Are The Roads Like in Belize?

Roads in Belize are usually not very well maintained. Don’t be surprised if your ride gets a little bit bumpy. In addition to the potholes and cracks in the pavement, speed bumps are the most common form of speed limit enforcement.

Other drivers are by far the biggest hazard on Belize’s roads. Drive defensively and be prepared for other cars to make sudden moves.
