Route

The route's south-western origin is a junction with the R355 near that route's origin at the R46 in the Western Cape. It heads north-east for 110 kilometres, crossing into the Northern Cape, before it reaches a junction with the R354 from the south. The two roads run together for 50 kilometres, through the Verlatekloof and Rooikloof Passes over the Komsberg Range, to reach Sutherland. The R354 leaves Sutherland heading north-west, but the R356 heads north-east to Fraserburg. The route crosses the R353 here at a staggered junction. It continues north-east, meeting the southern terminus of the R308, to end near Loxton at a junction with the R381.^[1]
