It passed the Rammas Echor, ran parallel to the Anduin, and crossed the river Erui at the Crossings of Erui before it reached Pelargir.

It was the chief highway of Minas Tirith, well-paved and wide enough for three lines of wagons. A broad green riding-track ran along its eastern edge.

During the War of the Ring, before the Siege of Gondor, the captains of the Outlands were expected to arrive at Minas Tirith on the South Road.

Portrayal in adaptations

2015: The Lord of the Rings Online:

From Minas Tirith, the road passes through Harlond and continues to Arnach, the major town of Lossarnach. After crossing into Lebennin, the road runs past a small farming village of "Glaniath" before arriving to the east gate of Pelargir.
