The M13 is a metropolitan route in the City of Cape Town, South Africa[2][3] linking Durbanville to Milnerton, north of the city of Cape Town.[4][5]
Route
The M13 begins at a junction with the R302 in the Durbanville CBD. It begins by going south-west as Church Street to reach a roundabout, where it turns to the south as Race Course Road. It passes by the Durbanville Nature Reserve and bends westwards to bypass the Durbanville Race Course and the Durbanville Hills suburb before meeting the northern terminus of the M16 route (Jip De Jager Street) and the M31 route (Tygerberg Valley Road).
The M13 takes over the name Tygerberg Valley Road and the road runs through a wine-producing valley, curving northwards, followed by westerly curve near the Hillcrest Quarry towards the coast downhill.[6] It then enters Milnerton, where it bends to the south (still named Tygerberg Valley Road) and passes through the Burgundy Estate suburb, where it meets the north-western terminus of the M12 route (Sienna Drive). Just after Burgundy Estate, the M13 reaches its end at a junction with the M14 route (Plattekloof Road) north of Bothasig.
