Federal Route 501 is a short federal highway in Sabah that connects the Kota Kinabalu from the Penampang junction all the way to Lok Kawi where it meets the Federal Route 1. This federal highway also serves as an alternative to the Federal Route 1.[1]
Currently, this route is commonly called Jalan Penampang from Kota Kinabalu, while the one from Lok Kawi is Jalan Donggongon-Papar Spur which the road itself was merge into both the FT501 and FT1. The road from Donggongon to Lok Kawi was also previously a single carriageway highway before the entire stretch was upgraded into a dual carriageway in 2016, alongside the full Jalan Donggongon-Papar Spur.
