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.
