As a result, the road may be very busy and occupied with trucks, cars and buses, in either direction. As the road is one lane in each direction, heavy traffic and traffic jams are common.[8]
This route between Lusaka and Livingstone is entirely part of Trans-African Highway number 4 or Cairo-Cape Town Highway, which links Cairo in Egypt with Gaborone in Botswana and Cape Town in South Africa.[2] It is also part of the Walvis Bay-Ndola-Lubumbashi Development Road.
It is also part of the route that motorists and heavy cargo trucks from Botswana, Namibia and parts of South Africa use to reach Lusaka, Zambia's capital city. From Lusaka, this traffic continues to the north and east, including Tanzania, Malawi and the Democratic Republic of the Congo.[7]
The highway starts 55 kilometres south of Lusaka, the capital of Zambia, and follows a general south-westerly direction through Chikankata District, Mazabuka District, Monze District, Pemba District, Choma District, Kalomo District, Zimba District and Kazungula District to end in Livingstone District adjacent to the Victoria Falls. It is a magnificent scenic road with views throughout.[3]
As part of the National Road Fund Agency's plans, there will be a tollgate before Mazabuka (Nega Nega Toll Plaza).[4]

After passing through Monze in a southerly direction, it continues for 35 kilometres (22 mi), through the small town of Chisekesi (where it meets a road going to Gwembe), to the town of Pemba.
From Pemba, the T1 goes south-west for 60 kilometres (37 mi), through the settlement of Batoka, through the Daniel Munkombwe Toll Plaza,[5] to the city of Choma, Southern Province's Capital since 2012. In Choma, the T1 meets the M11 Road, which connects Choma with Namwala and the Itezhi-Tezhi Dam.

From Zimba, the road continues south-south-west for 80 kilometres (50 mi), through a narrow part of Kazungula District, through the Kebby Musokotwane Toll Plaza, to the city of Livingstone, Zambia's tourist capital.

The T1 continues southwards for another 10 kilometres (6 mi) to the Victoria Falls, where it crosses the Zambezi River via the Victoria Falls Bridge into the Republic of Zimbabwe, where it becomes the A8 Road to Bulawayo. The town on the other side of the Zambezi River crossing is also named Victoria Falls.
