I find the mention of this being a 12 lane highway somewhat misleading as that only applies to one short section around the Buccleugh interchange. The majority of this ring-road has only three motor lanes in each direction, with "emergency lanes" both sides of these.

If you bond with cities such as LA and New York, you'll find that they use their emergency lanes in heavy traffic as feeders. These should therefore count as de facto lanes. Take another drive around the ring road and you'll see that Buccleuch (please note correct spelling) is not the only place where there are 12 lanes. Hint: don't do 180km/h and you'll see better (and it won't seem quite as short).

Applicable Road Discussion

If this article is purely about the "Johannesburg Ring Road" (the 80 km freeway making a circle), then why do we have "internal highways" (M1 & M2) also shaded in the Infobox image? Are they important or necessary to be included in this article's notes? GeographicAccountant (talk) 23:16, 16 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I still believe that it is not necessary to include these two highways. While they are shaded in the Infobox image, they are not mentioned anywhere else in the entire article. GeographicAccountant (talk) 06:56, 13 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
