It goes through several tunnels as it crosses in to Kyoto Prefecture. To the south of Kyoto, it is paralleled by National Route 1 and further to the west, National Route 478. Its western terminus is at the Meishin Expressway to the southwest of Kyoto. The roadway of the Keiji Bypass continues on to the northwest as the Kyoto Jūkan Expressway.[2]

The entire route has a speed limit of 80 km/h.
