Bryanston is an affluent residential suburb of Sandton, Gauteng, South Africa to the north of Johannesburg. First named as an area in 1949, it was established in 1969 as a suburb of Sandton and provided with tarred roads and municipal services [1], but after municipal boundaries were revised following the end of Apartheid, Sandton was merged with Johannesburg to form part of the City of Johannesburg Metropolitan Municipality. The multi-lane N1 (Johannesburg Western Bypass) freeway forms its northern boundary with access at the R511/M81 (Winnie Mandela Drive) off-ramp. It is located in Region E of the City of Johannesburg Metropolitan Municipality.
