The M6 road is a long metropolitan route in the City of Tshwane in Gauteng, South Africa. It connects Pretoria West with a rural area east of Pretoria via Pretoria CBD, Brooklyn, Lynnwood and Wapadrand.[1] [2] [3] [4]
The M6 route begins in-between Pretoria West and Pretoria CBD, at a junction with the M2 route (Nana Sita Street) and the M1 route (Es'kia Mphahlele Drive). It starts by being a westwards one-way-street named Visagie Street through the Pretoria CBD (eastwards driving is via Nana Sita Street), meeting the R101 route (Kgosi Mampuru Street; Schubart Street) and the M18 route (Bosman Street; Thabo Sehume Street), up to the junction with the M3 route (Nelson Mandela Drive), where it becomes Kotze Street (no-longer a one-way street).
From the M3 junction, the M6 heads eastwards through the Sunnyside suburb, meeting the M5 route (Steve Biko Road; Troye Street), becoming Jorissen Street, to bypass the Loftus Versfeld Stadium, the University of Pretoria and the Pretoria Boys High School, where it becomes Lynnwood Road.[5] It passes through the suburb of Brooklyn, where it meets the M7 route (Jan Shoba Street) and the M30 route (Brooklyn Road).[5] It forms the northern boundary of the Menlo Park suburb before entering Lynnwood, where it crosses the N1 highway (Pretoria Eastern Bypass).[5]
On the other side of the N1, it passes in-between Lynnwood Glen and Lynnwood Manor before passing through Lynnwood Ridge, where it meets the northern terminus of the M33 route (January Masilela Drive).[5] It then passes through Die Wilgers, where it meets the southern terminus of the M12 route (Simon Vermooten Road).[5] It then forms the southern boundary of the Equestria suburb and reaches Wapadrand, where it meets the M10 route (Solomon Mahlangu Drive).[5]
The M6 turns to the south-east and heads for 22 km, becoming Graham Road and bypassing Silver Lakes, through a rural area, to end at a junction with the R25 route about 11 km north-east of Bapsfontein (just north of Welbekend).
