Route Départementale 105 (RD-105) is a short departmental road in Haiti's North Department, running from Barrière Bouteille to Pointe Labadie, near the coast. The 8 km route serves as a local connector between urban neighborhoods and suburban areas, facilitating access toward the port and tourism areas around Labadie. The roadway lies entirely on lowland plains and passes through diverse terrains, including urban and urban, rural, and mountainous landscapes.
Route description[]
Route begins at the intersection of National Routes 1 and 3 in Cap-Haïtien. From this point, Route 105 heads north on Rue L, a street characterized by its narrow lanes and bustling atmosphere. Following L Street, the road conditions may vary, with sections of paved surfaces interspersed with areas requiring maintenance. It's advisable to drive cautiously, keeping an eye out for pedestrians, local vehicles, and occasional obstacles.
Continuing north, Route 105 intersects with Rue 21, a significant east-west thoroughfare in Cap-Haïtien. Turning left onto Rue 21, the road begins to transition from the urban environment into more elevated and rural terrains. The landscape shifts as you move away from the city center, with the road winding through hilly areas, offering scenic views of the surrounding countryside. The elevation increases gradually, and the vegetation becomes more lush and tropical, characteristic of Haiti's northern region.
As you ascend into the heights, the road conditions may change. While some sections remain paved, others may be unpaved or have deteriorated surfaces. Be prepared for uneven terrain, occasional potholes, and narrow passages. It's advisable to drive cautiously, especially during rainy conditions, as some areas may become slippery or prone to erosion. The journey through these elevated terrains offers a glimpse into small villages, agricultural fields, and local markets dotting the landscape. Approaching the coastal area at Pointe Labadee, Route 105 reaches its northern terminus in a wooded region near the shore. There are indications of a potential security gate or barrier in this area, restricting access to the coastal zone. This could be due to private property, security concerns, or environmental protection measures.
