Provincial routes (also referred to as major regional routes) are the second category of road in the South African route-numbering scheme.[1] They are designated with the letter "R" followed by a number from 21 to 82, formerly with the letter "P" followed by a number from 66.[2] They serve as feeders to the national routes and as trunk roads in areas where there is no national route.
Designation as a provincial route does not necessarily imply that a road is maintained by the road authority in the provincial government; some parts of the provincial route network are maintained by the
R59 between Vereeniging and Johannesburg
