R503 (South Africa)

The R503 is a Regional Route in South Africa. It begins at a four-way intersection in the town of Mahikeng, the capital of the North West. The western and northern roads are designated the N18, the eastern the R49 and the southern is the start of the R503. It runs in a roughly south-east / north-west direction for most of its length. The first town it passes through is Lichtenburg where it is briefly co-signed with the intersecting R52 and R505. The next town is Coligny, where it meets the N14, with which it is briefly co-signed, before continuing to Hartbeesfontein. Here it intersects with the R507 and is co-signed for a short duration. After this the road ends just west of Klerksdorp.
