How to use northbound in a sentence?

1. David Kopel:

   I dont think there would be significant dangers to the U.S. if Mexicans were allowed to defend themselves legally, there are already plenty of guns in the U.S., so the possibility of northbound arms smuggling seems remote.

2. Public Safety commissioner:

   That’s why we built 285, y’ all, it’s the bypass. This morning, Atlanta’s MARTA transit system increased rail services to accommodate the expected increase in travelers. By mid-day MARTA CEO Keith Parker was reporting a 25 percent surge in ridership. With highway capacity already at a premium, the I-85 closure comes at a time of peak demand. This weekend, spring break gets underway for many area school students. And Friday evening, the Atlanta Braves will inaugurate their new stadium with a preseason game. During construction of the new stadium, critics questioned the impact the facility would have on traffic at its location near the junction of I-285 and I-75 in suburban Cobb County. Now that I-75 is the only northbound interstate out of downtown Atlanta, traffic plans will be put to the test. Despite the inconvenience, some residents and officials are putting Thursday’s disaster in perspective.

3. Toronto Police Chief Mark Saunders:

   Based on witness accounts, we have a vehicle that started north on Yonge Street from Finch( Avenue) and drove southbound at some point in times on sidewalks, at some point in times driving southbound in northbound lanes.

   That's very unusual to have something like that. We typically only have one side affected, miraculously, when you look at some of these cars in the northbound lanes, there are people that survived that( you) don't know how that happened.
