The road is especially notorious due to seemingly unending roadworks, particularly the Lipa and San Jose segments, to the point that frequent motorists mentioned it as one of the worst roads in the country.

Route description

The highway starts at Jose P. Laurel Highway in Barangay Banaybanay, Lipa City, briefly passing through the municipality of San Jose in Barangay Pinagtung-ulan and into the town of Cuenca, where the road turns windy while providing a scenic view of nearby Mount Maculot and into Cuenca town proper. The road then passes through Alitagtag municipality, through a major crossroad leading to San Jose town proper, San Pascual and Bauan, then heads toward Alitagtag town proper, then takes a sharp turn at the border with the town of Santa Teresita and terminates at Muzon junction between Alitagtag and San Luis.
