The R324 is a Regional Route in South Africa that connects Barrydale to the north with Port Beaufort and Witsand to the south.[1]

Route

[edit]

The R324 begins in Barrydale at a junction with the R62 and it heads south over the Tradouws Pass, crossing the Langeberg mountains. At the end of the pass, it reaches a t-junction, where the eastern route is signed as the R322 and the R324 continues as the western route. The westerly R324 passes through Suurbraak and then reaches a junction with the N2 near Buffeljagsrivier (12 kilometres east of Swellendam). It joins the N2 to be co-signed for 3 kilometres heading east. Diverging from the N2, the route then heads south-south-east to Port Beaufort, where it meets the other end of the R322. The R324 then runs east to end at the neighbouring village of Witsand.[1]
