The Johannesburg Ring Road is a set of freeways that circle the city of Johannesburg, South Africa and service the City of Johannesburg Metropolitan Municipality.[1][2][3][4] The entire ring road is approximately 83 km long and was an e-toll highway (with open road tolling) from 3 December 2013[5] up until e-tolls were shut down in Gauteng on 12 April 2024.[6][7]
