Route description

GH-14, a diversion route off Guam Highway 1, is the resort road of Guam. It and its suffixed child routes are the means to reach the resorts and beaches of Tumon Bay, Guam's primary resort area. The road begins running north off a four-way junction with GH-1 at the Guam International Trade Center building: the busiest intersection on Guam in terms of traffic density. Known at this point as Chalan San Antonio, the route passes Guam Premier Outlets, one of the bigger shopping centers on the island, as well as various other commercial facilities. After passing GH-30A, GH-14 passes three schools and the remnants of Guam Greyhound Park: a

(a statue of Padre San Vitores stands in the middle of the roundabout). GH-14 continues east along Pale San Vitores Road into lower Tumon and Guam's resort strip. As the route curves to the north along the strip, child routes ( see below) provide quick connections back to GH-1. GH-14 finally itself turns east up the hill at the last connector to end at a direct junction with GH-1.
