Route
The R310 begins in Muizenberg at an intersection with the M4. It runs east as Baden Powell Drive, meeting the southern terminus of the M5, hugging the False Bay coast and passing in-between Strandfontein and the Wolfgat Nature Reserve before passing south of Mitchells Plain, where it meets the southern terminus of the M7. The R310 continues eastwards to bypass the township of Khayelitsha, where it turns away from the coast towards the north-east and meets the M9 before crossing the N2 freeway.The R310 continues north-east, still named Baden Powell Drive, skirting Eersterivier to the east, to enter Stellenbosch, where it meets the eastern terminus of the M12 at a T-junction. The R310 takes over as Adam Tas Road and heads eastwards for 4 kilometres into the Stellenbosch CBD to reach a junction with the R44. The R310 joins the R44 and they are co-signed northwards through the CBD as Adam Tas Road, meeting the south-eastern terminus of the R304. Just after meeting the R304, the R310 splits from the R44 to become the Hellshoogte Pass towards the east. It heads for 16 kilometres, bending north-eastwards, passing through Pniel, to reach its end at an intersection with the R45 approximately 7 kilometres west of Wemmershoek.
