Motorists have been urged to avoid the N14 towards Pretoria due to reports of protest action
It is understood traffic is heavily congested along the route with extended delays in travelling time.
Protest
There are reports that the N14 from Johannesburg to Pretoria has been barricaded with rocks and burning tyres.
Johannesburg Metropolitan Police Department (JMPD) spokesperson Xolani Fihla has advised motorists to use alternate routes.
“We have received reports of a protest action on the N14, that’s between R551 and R55, the boundary between Johannesburg and Tshwane.
“At the present moment it’s not clear what the protest is about, but there is heavy traffic on the N14 and routes leaving Diepsloot and the City of Johannesburg,” Fihla said.
Alternate routes
Fihla said there have been no reports of any accidents or disruptions along the route other than the protest.
“Motorists in Johannesburg can use Summit Road travelling through Midrand heading towards areas like OlievenHoutBosch and other alternative routes.”
