The M20 road is a metropolitan route in the City of Tshwane in Gauteng, South Africa. It connects Akasia with Hebron via Soshanguve.[1][2][3][4]

Route[edit]

The M20 route begins in Chantelle, Akasia, at a junction with the R513 route (Rachel De Beer Street). It begins by heading northwards for 5 kilometres as Doreen Avenue, separating the suburb of Chantelle in the west from the suburb of Wonderpark in the east, to fly over the N4 highway (Platinum Highway; Pretoria Northern Bypass) and pass through The Orchards before reaching a junction with the R566 Route in the industrial suburb of Rosslyn.[5]

The M20 continues north-north-west for 7 kilometres, through the northern part of Rosslyn, to enter Soshanguve South, where it reaches a junction with Hebron Road. Here, the M20 becomes Hebron Road towards the north-west. It heads north-west for 7 kilometres, meeting the M17 route, to leave the City of Tshwane Metropolitan Municipality and enter the township of Hebron in the Madibeng Local Municipality, where it ends at a junction with the M21 route (Molefe Makinta Highway).[5]
