The road forms a minor southwest-northeast transport artery in Estonia. In 2015, the highest traffic density on the route was between Sõmeru and Rakvere, with an AADT of 6,000. The figures nearly beat the section between Paide and Mäo, with an AADT of 5,900.[1]
The road is a dual carriageway for 1.5 kilometres.[2] The short section can be found at Mäo, on the interchange with the T2. Currently there are no plans to further widen the road.
