The M9 road is a short metropolitan route in the City of Tshwane in Gauteng, South Africa. It connects Erasmusrand with Sunnyside via Waterkloof Ridge. [1] [2] [3] [4] It consists of only two streets (Rigel Avenue and Florence Ribeiro Avenue).

Route

The M9 route begins in Erasmusrand (just west of Erasmuskloof), at a junction with the N1 highway (Danie Joubert Freeway; Pretoria Eastern Bypass) and the northern terminus of the R50 route (Delmas Road). It begins by heading north-north-west as Rigel Avenue, forming the main road through Waterkloof Ridge. [5]

After 4.7 kilometres, the M9 changes its street name to Florence Ribeiro Avenue (formerly Queen Wilhelmina Avenue [6] ) and forms the boundary between the suburbs of Groenkloof to the west and Waterkloof to the east, continuing north-north-west. It then reaches a junction with the M7 route (George Storrar Drive; Middel Street) and continues for another 1.7 kilometres to reach its end at a junction with the M11 route (Justice Mahommed Street) in Sunnyside.
