R357 (South Africa)

R357 is a regional route in South Africa. It connects Vosburg in the Northern Cape with Prieska, also in the Northern Cape. Its primary function is to provide a shorter, more direct link between these towns than using national routes like the N12. The road serves primarily agricultural areas and smaller settlements along its path. The R357 is typically a single carriageway road and may have sections of gravel or unpaved surface, especially in more remote areas. Travelers planning to use the R357 should be aware of potential road conditions and ensure their vehicles are suitable for the terrain. Information on current road conditions can often be obtained from local authorities or traffic reporting services.
