The R555 is a Regional Route in South Africa. Its western terminus is the unsigned Welgedacht Road north of Springs, Gauteng. It heads east-north-east into Mpumalanga, initially paralleling the N12. It passes through Eloff and then Delmas where it crosses the cosigned R42 / R50. The next town it passes through is Ogies where it meets the R545 at a staggered junction. It then passes over to the other side of the N12, entering Witbank. Here it becomes co-signed with the R544 and forms an interchange with the N4. Leaving the town, it heads east-north-east to Middelburg. Just before reaching the town, it intersects with the north-east terminus of the R575. In Middleburg, it is co-signed with the intersecting N11. The co-signed route also intersects with the northern terminus of the R35. Leaving Middelburg, the road bends north-east. It reaches Stoffberg where it makes a staggered junction with the R33. Crossing into Limpopo the route then passes through Roossenekal, where it meets the western terminus of the R577. It then passes through Steelpoort before crossing the R37 at a staggered junction at Burgersfort. The routes eastern end is then reached, at an intersection with the R36 at Ohrigstad.
