Route description
The road starts at the junction with Pres. Jose P. Laurel Highway in Batangas City as a segment of Tolentino Road and turns east toward the outskirts of the city as Gov. Antonio A. Carpio Road[a]. It then curves gently southward across the Calumpang River and passes by the high school campus of Lyceum of the Philippines University Batangas, where it meets with Ferry Road and the Batangas–Tabangao–Lobo Road at Brgy. Gulod Labac. The route heads southeast-ward at this junction, passes by the entrance to the Philippine Science High School Calabarzon campus and crosses with the STAR Tollway–Pinamucan Bypass Road in barangay Sampaga, then gradually slopes upon reaching the boundary of the city with the municipality of Taysan, where the road assumes the alternative name of Taysan–Lobo Road and turns slopier, curvier, and riddled with tight turns as it passes the proximity of Mounts Calo and Liguayen at the border with the municipality of Lobo. Finally, the route, locally known as P. Burgos Street, turns west towards the town proper before crossing nearby Lobo River and intersects with Batangas–Tabangao–Lobo Road (which continues P. Burgos Street) and Lobo–Malabrigo–San Juan Road (Mabini Street) just beside the town's public market.
Intersections
The entire route is located in Batangas. Intersections are numbered by kilometer posts, with Rizal Park in Manila designated as kilometer zero.
