The first town it passes through is Orkney, where it intersects with the R30. It continues through Leeudoringstad, where it is briefly co-signed with the R504. The last town it passes through is Makwassie where it is again briefly co-signed with the R505. A few kilometres after Makwassie, the road ends at another junction with the N12.
