The M63 is a short metropolitan route in Greater Johannesburg, South Africa.[1] [2] It is an alternative route to the R51 road between Springs and Nigel.[3]

Route

The M63 begins in Springs, in the suburb of Pollak Park (just south of the town centre), at a junction with the R51 road (Springs Road).[4] It begins by going southwards as Tonk Meter Road to cross the N17 highway and enter the Selcourt suburb, where it becomes Coaton Avenue eastwards before becoming Nigel Road southwards.[4]

It enters the town of Nigel, first passing by the suburb of Dunnottar (where it meets the south-eastern terminus of the M45 road)[4] before reaching its southern terminus at a junction with the R550 road about 2 kilometres west of the Nigel Town Centre.[4]
