The N1 Western Bypass is the main route, but it's one of Joburg's slowest stretches at peak. Beyers Naude Drive is the usual alternative.
This guide was written for West Rand to Sandton. The same roads apply on your trip, but read exits, merges and lane tips the other way round.

Rivonia Road takes you to Sandton CBD and Sunninghill. Queues on the off-ramp can reach the highway.
William Nicol leads to Sandton via Bryanston. Get into the left lanes early.
Often stop-start from Beyers Naude to William Nicol at peak. Keep a safe gap; rear-end crashes are common.
During power cuts, treat dead traffic lights as a four-way stop, especially on Hendrik Potgieter and Christiaan de Wet.
The N14 towards Muldersdrift links to Beyers Naude Drive (M5) towards Randburg, avoiding part of the bypass.
Most Roodepoort commuters join the N1 at Christiaan de Wet or 14th Avenue. Expect on-ramp queues from about 6:30.
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.
