M22 (Pretoria)


The M22 road is a metropolitan route in the City of Tshwane in Gauteng, South Africa. It connects Pretoria Industrial with Queenswood via Proclamation Hill, Pretoria West, Pretoria CBD and Rietondale.
It is an alternative route to the M7 route for travel between Proclamation Hill and Queenswood.

Route

The M22 route begins at a junction with the R55 route just south of Proclamation Hill and north of Pretoria Industrial. It starts by heading north-east as a dual carriageway named Quagga Road, forming the eastern boundary of the Proclamation Hill suburb and meeting the western termini of the M7 route and the M2 route.
After the M2 junction, the M22 proceeds to reach a junction with the R104 route south of the Quagga Shopping Centre. The M22 joins the R104 and they are one road eastwards as WF Nkomo Street through Pretoria West up to the junction with the M1 route. The M22 leaves WF Nkomo Street and becomes one road with the M1 northwards on Es'kia Mphahlele Drive.
At the next junction in Marabastad, the M1/M22 meets the M4 route. At the next junction after Vom Hagen Street, the M22 leaves Es'kia Mphahlele Drive and becomes its own road eastwards as two one-way streets.
From the M1 junction, the M22 heads eastwards through Marabastad and the northern area of the Pretoria CBD to meet the R101 route. Here, the R101 joins the M22 eastwards on the two one-way streets up to the junction with Paul Kruger Street, where the R101 becomes Paul Kruger Street northwards.
On either side of the Paul Kruger Street junction, the M22 meets the northern terminus of the M18 route. Just after meeting the M18, the M22 becomes one street eastwards, crosses the Apies River and meets the M5 route adjacent to the University of Pretoria Basic Medical Sciences Building in Prinshof.
The M22 continues eastwards through the suburb of Rietondale as Soutpansberg Road, meeting the southern terminus of the M29 route. After Rietondale, the M22 meets the M7 route for the second time in the suburb of Queenswood. At the junction with CR Swart Drive, the M22 becomes CR Swart Drive northwards and separates Queenswood in the west from Kilner Park in the east. It reaches its end at the Harry Muller Circle, where it meets the M8 route.
