List of regional routes in South Africa explained

This is a list of regional routes in South Africa.^[1]

R101–R120

Route numbers with three digits starting with "R1" are given to sections of road that were formerly part of a national route with a corresponding number, when the national route has since been moved to a new alignment, usually a freeway. So, for example, the R102 number is given to road segments that were formerly part of the N2, and the R114 number is given to road segments that were formerly part of the N14.
