The M78 is a short metropolitan route in Greater Johannesburg, South Africa.[1][2] It is a short route connecting Illiondale with Klopper Park in the Edenvale/Germiston area of Ekurhuleni Metropolitan Municipality.[3]
Route
The M78 begins at a junction with the R25 road in the suburb of Illiondale (south of Modderfontein and north-east of Edenvale CBD). It begins by going southwards through Illiondale to reach a junction with the M59 road (Terrace Road). It continues south as Harris Avenue, separating the Sebenza and Edenglen suburbs of Edenvale, to reach a junction with the M16 road (Baker Road) east of Edenvale CBD. The M16 joins the M78 and they are one road southwards for a few metres before the M16 becomes its own road eastwards (Harris Avenue) while the M78 remains as the southerly road (Shelton Road).[3]
The M78 proceeds to fly over the R24 highway (Albertina Sisulu Freeway) and enter Klopper Park (the northernmost suburb of Germiston), where it reaches a junction with the M99 road (Herman Street). It proceeds south-east through Klopper Park to reach its end at another junction with the M59 road (Lazarus Mawela Road).[3]
