Metropolitan Routes in Cape Town


The City of Cape Town like most South African metropolitan areas, uses Metropolitan or "M" routes for important intra-city routes, a layer below National roads and Regional roads. Each city's M roads are independently numbered.
These roads interact with Cape Town's N and R roads.
