The M3 is the main route from Tokai and Constantia into town, but the traffic lights through Bishopscourt and Newlands slow everything at peak.
This guide was written for Southern Suburbs to Cape Town City Centre. The same roads apply on your trip, but read exits, merges and lane tips the other way round.

Main Road (M4) and the M5 run parallel through the suburbs. Slower, but useful if the M3 is blocked.
The old De Waal Drive takes you along the mountain into the Gardens and the city centre.
The M3 and N2 share the road past Groote Schuur. Know whether you need the N2 or the M3 into town before you get there.
The City plans changes to the intersections between Newlands and Wynberg from late 2026. Follow temporary signs.
The M3 stops being a freeway here, with several traffic lights on Edinburgh Drive and Union Avenue. Queues build at each one.
Heavy inbound traffic from Tokai and Bergvliet from about 6:30. Keep a safe gap.
Passengers only, or once you've stopped. Never while driving.
A tap posts the hazard and road. To add the lane, how bad it is or a tip, use "Add a detailed report" further down.
Your location is only used when you tap a button that asks for it. Reports show it rounded to about 100 m, never your exact spot. You can always type the road instead.
