The M13 is a short metropolitan route in the City of Johannesburg, South Africa. It connects Cresta in Randburg with Hurlingham in Sandton.[1]

Route

The M13 begins at Republic Road's intersection with Judges Avenue (M8) and the southern part of Republic Road (M20) in Cresta.[2] It heads north through Windsor East and Windsor passing by the Randpark Golf Club.[2] It then passes north through Randpark and Robin Hills before turning eastwards as it passes the suburbs of Fontainebleau and Malanshof and reaches an intersection with Malibongwe Drive (R512).[2] It crosses the intersection, still as Republic Road and continues east into Ferndale, where it intersects and crosses Bram Fischer Drive (M71) and shortly thereafter Jan Smuts Avenue (M27) in Bordeaux.[2] Staying as Republic Road, the route turns north-east through Hurlingham and ends shortly thereafter as a t-junction at Winnie Mandela Drive (M81).[2]
