    Default a rough road takes off directly west for 37km into the valley

    What is "takes off"? begin or a metaphor for "start a journey"?

    ex)Gmkaskloof, which is now under the custodianship of Western Cape Nature Conservation, is accessed from the summit of the Swartberg Pass. From near the summit a rough road takes off directly west for 37km into the valley.....

    Exactly right. It is a metaphor for "start a journey".
