Avoid these routes: Road closures in place for G20 Summit

Executive Summary

Major road closures and traffic disruptions are anticipated in and around Johannesburg Central this weekend due to South Africa's hosting of the G20 Leaders’ Summit. Joint law enforcement agencies, including the RTMC, Gauteng Traffic Police, JMPD, and SAPS, will implement rolling closures, lane restrictions, and escorted motorcades on key routes such as the N1, M1, N12, and urban roads like Rivonia Road, Oxford Road, and Jan Smuts Avenue. Authorities recommend alternative routes including Beyers Naudé Drive, Corlett Drive, and smaller parallel roads, with clear signage and priority for emergency services. Residents are urged to plan ahead, monitor updates, and avoid high-security corridors to minimize disruptions.
