Motorists in Johannesburg have been urged to be aware of multiple road closures that will be in place on Saturday ahead of the G20 Leaders summit.

The Road Traffic Management Corporation, alongside provincial and metro law enforcement, will be conducting operations in preparation for the upcoming summit.

These closures will be implemented from 09:00 to 13:00 on major and urban roads, including 5th Street, Maude Street, Daisy Street, Rivonia Road, Grayston Drive, Kathrine Street, Whiteley Road, Melrose Boulevard, Athol-Oaklands Road, Oxford Road, Glenhove Road, Jan Smuts Avenue, Winnie Mandela Drive, Hendrick Potgieter Road, Rand Show Road, Nasrec Road, and Golden Highway (Nasrec).

People in the Roodepoort area are advised to use Beyers Naudé Drive, Christiaan de Wet Road, and Ontdekkers Road instead of Hendrick Potgieter Road.

Motorists in Fourways can use Main Road, Cedar Road, and Witkoppen Road. Within Sandton, Rosebank, and Parktown, people are urged to use side streets parallel to Jan Smuts, Oxford, or Rivonia Road, such as Corlett Drive, Sandton Drive, and 11th Avenue.

Those travelling in southern Johannesburg, Riverlea, Nasrec, and Ormonde View can use Chris Hani Road, Main Reef Road, Crownwood Road (Fordsburg–Crown Mines), Soweto Highway, N17, Aerodrome Road, and Adcock Ingram Road as alternative routes.
