At the end of the toll road (14km) take the Pelindaba off-ramp south and turn right and then right again onto the Pelindaba Road. Proceed west until the T-junction where the R512 meets the Pelindaba Road (at the T-junction fruit stall) turn (south) left onto the R512 and 7.2km along the road, the K west road is clearly marked on the right hand side of the road.
