The main access roads in and around Newlands East is the N2 highway, M45 Queen Nandi Drive, M5 Dumisani Makhaye Drive and M21 Inanda Road. The M45 Queen Nandi Drive is the main thoroughfare to Newlands East and connects to KwaMashu and Briardene. It also provides access to the N2 highway which connects Newlands East with KwaDukuza and Port Shepstone.
