Route

The R52 begins in Biesiesvlei (20 kilometres north-east of Sannieshof), at a junction with the N14 national route. [2] It begins by going north-east for 36 kilometres, through Itekeng, to the town of Lichtenburg. [2] It reaches a junction with the R503 route and the R505 route (Nelson Mandela Drive). [2]

All 3 routes form one road northwards through the Lichtenburg CBD as Nelson Mandela Drive up to the junction with Gerrit Maritz Street, where the R52 splits from the R503/R505 to become Gerrit Maritz Street eastwards. The R52 heads north-east for 84 kilometres, meeting the R53 route, to the town of Koster, where it turns northwards in the town centre, becoming Rissik Street, and meets the R509 route. [2] After the Reagile suburb of Koster, the R53 turns to the north-east and heads for 35 kilometres to reach its end at a t-junction with the N4 national route (Platinum Highway) just west of Rustenburg.
