G20 road closures to affect Joburg, Tshwane and Ekurhuleni

Executive Summary

Johannesburg metro police spokesperson Xolani Fihla announced that the G20 summit will cause multiple road closures and restrictions not only in Johannesburg but also in Tshwane and Ekurhuleni. Major national routes like the N1, N3, N12, R21, R24, and M1 from OR Tambo International Airport, along with urban arteries, will be affected, including full closures on the Golden Highway from November 19 and specific sections of Nasrec Road, Rand Show Road, and Booysens Reserve Road on November 22 and 23. These disruptions, expected mainly between 7:30am and 10am, will convert some roads for better traffic flow to accommodate residents while prioritizing summit security.
