Johannesburg by car


Johannesburg by car

A number of highways from everywhere in South Africa go to Johannesburg, the N1 from Cape Town and Bloemfontein or the N3 from Durban making it an easy to reach destination, including:
  • N1 from Cape Town and Harare in Zimbabwe
  • N3 from Durban
  • N4 from Nelspruit and the Kruger National Park, as well as Botswana
  • N12 from Kimberley and Potchefstroom
  • N14 from Upington and Namibia
  • Traffic can be particularly bad during peak hours (M-F 6:30AM-9AM and 3:30PM-6:30PM) so plan your journey accordingly. Due to the increasing number of cars sold, traffic has progressively worsened. If traveling in the city Monday through Friday, make sure you take into consideration the possibility of traffic jams delaying your journey. As the city is large and spread out, getting around may require covering large distances e.g. from Midrand to Soweto is in excess of 45 km (28 mi).
