It reaches a junction where the R530 / R40 leaves to the north-east. Five kilometres thereafter, the road reaches another t-junction. The south-eastern road becomes designated the R40, and the R526 continues along the south-western junction, ending at the R36 just north of Abel Erasmus Pass between Ofcolaco and Ohrigstad.
