In front of the entrance to the Diocesan Shrine of Saint Augustine, it then turns southwest as San Agustin Street, becomes a two-way street at its intersection with Santo Domingo Street. It meets the Biwas Roundabout past the Tanza Bridge, and once again meets Antero Soriano Highway at the Tanza Junction and proceeds towards Naic.[3]

Within the población of Naic, N402 turns southwest towards J. Poblete Street (some of its segments is also known as Sabang Road) and then, in front of the Naic Church, veers southeast as Capt. Ciriaco Nazareno Street. It then intersects with Governor's Drive and proceeds towards Indang as Naic–Indang Road. It then enters the población of Indang alternatively known as A. Mojica Street and ends at De Ocampo Street. It then continues as De Ocampo Street, San Miguel Street, and A.
