The R41 is a provincial route in Gauteng, South Africa, that connects Johannesburg with Randfontein via Roodepoort. [1]
The R41 route begins in the Ferreirasdorp suburb of Johannesburg (adjacent to Newtown), at an intersection with the two one-way-streets of the R24 route (Albertina Sisulu Road and Commissioner Street). The route begins by going west-south-west, named Main Reef Road, passing under the M1 highway (De Villiers Graaff Motorway) and meeting the western end of the R29 route in the Fordsburg suburb. It heads south-west through Crown North to enter Crown (west of Selby), where it meets the western end of the M2 Johannesburg-Germiston Highway (Francois Oberholzer Freeway), meets the M17 road (Crownwood Road) and continues west, bypassing various Chinese marts and shopping centres in the area. [1]
North of Riverlea (south of Langlaagte North), the R41 meets Johannesburg's M5 road (Nasrec Road), which heads south to FNB Stadium and Aeroton. Continuing west, the R41 crosses over the N1 highway (Johannesburg Western Bypass) as a flyover and enters the southern suburbs of Roodepoort. It bypasses Florida and the old Roodepoort CBD to the south, where it meets the south-western terminus of the R564 (Westlake Road) and the northern terminus of the M77 (Elias Motsoaledi Street) before going west towards Randfontein. At this point, the street name changes from Main Reef Road to Randfontein Road. The R24 road (Albertina Sisulu Road) is an alternative route between Johannesburg and Roodepoort. [1]
