Highway system

The R513 is a Regional Route in South Africa that connects Hartbeespoort with Bronkhorstspruit via Akasia, Pretoria North and Cullinan.

Route

It is an east-west route. Its western origin is a junction with the R511 just north of Hartbeespoort, North West. From there it heads east, crossing the border into Gauteng and entering the north-western part of the city of Pretoria in the City of Tshwane Metropolitan Municipality.

It meets with Pretoria's M17 Metropolitan Route at a staggered junction (cosigned for 400 metres northwards) before continuing eastwards through the suburbs of Akasia (as Brits Road; where it meets the R80 Mabopane Highway) and Pretoria North (as Rachel de Beer Street).

Just after Pretoria North, at the suburb of Annlin West, It becomes co-signed with Pretoria's M1 Metropolitan Route southwards for 800 metres and the R101 north-east for 2 kilometers before becoming its own road eastwards (Sefako Makgatho Drive; formerly Zambesi Drive). It runs through the Wonderboom, Sinoville and Montana Park suburbs before forming an interchange with the N1/N4 Highway (Platinum Highway) and exiting the city.

Just east of the N1 highway Interchange, the R513 meets the south-western terminus of the R573 from KwaMhlanga and Marble Hall. Continuing east, the R513 bypasses the township of Mamelodi and then passes through the town of Cullinan, where it meets the northern terminus of the R515 before continuing eastwards.

At Ekangala, the road meets the R568 road at a t-junction. It is co-signed to the south for 2.5 kilometers, before the R513 becomes its own road to the south-east to end at the R104 in Bronkhorstspruit, just east of the town centre and just west of the R104's intersection with the R25.

gollark: BIOS thingies run code off MBRs.

gollark: Er, BIOS.

gollark: Ah, but it has to be bootable *by UEFI/MBR*, that's the hard bit.

gollark: Yes, a valid picture-y image file which can also be booted from.

gollark: You could make a *zip* file which is both bootable and extractable, but that's because of a weird zip quirk.
