National Routes are denoted with the letter N followed by a number indicating the specific route. On maps and some signage, national routes are shown by a pentagon with the number of the road inside.

•N1: Cape Town - Beit Bridge (the border post to Zimbabwe, becomes the A4/A6)

via Laingsburg, Beaufort West, Colesberg, Bloemfontein, Winburg, Kroonstad, Johannesburg, Pretoria, Polokwane and Musina.

•N2: Cape Town - Ermelo via the Garden Route, Port Elizabeth, Grahamstown, Bisho, East London, Mthatha, Kokstad, Port Shepstone, Durban, Empangeni, Pongola and Piet Retief

•N3: Durban - Johannesburg via Pietermaritzburg, Estcourt and Harrismith.
