Route
The R26 begins in the town of Rouxville, at a t-junction with the N6 national route. It begins by going north-east for 30 kilometres to meet the north-western terminus of the R726 road and bypass the town of Zastron. From Zastron, the R26 goes northwards for 65 kilometres, following the borderline with Lesotho, through Van Stadensrus, to the town of Wepener near the Van Rooyen's Gate border with Lesotho, where it meets the R702 road. The R702 & R26 become one road for 8 kilometres westwards. Just after crossing the Caledon River, at the northern terminus of the R701 road (a four-way junction), the R702 remains as the road westwards while the R26 turns northwards.
