• Balmoral Estates; • Walkers Fruit Farms Agricultural Holdings; and • De Deur Agricultural Holdings. Various farms are located along the road. 7.2.2 Provincial Road Netw ork The netw ork consists of a grid pattern of proposed freew ays and second order routes (K routes) that were planned in the 1960’s and are consistently being refined to accommodate future grow th and development. The MidvaalLocalMunicipality is affected by a number of freeways and K-routes. There are tw o existing freeways in the area, namely the N3 and R59 (north-south) as well as four proposed freeways, namely the PWV13 (north-south), PWV18, PWV20 and PWV22 (east-w est). There are numerous proposed K-routes in the Midvaal area, with a higher concentration of these routes in the north-w est, correlating w ith the higher population concentration and development intensity. The follow ing is a description of the most significant regional roads: • The N1 national route running from Cape Tow n to Musina. It transverses the western portion of the Sedibeng District and provides national and provincial linkages to the area. • The N3 national route betw een Durban and Johannesburg. This route runs through Midvaal in the east. • The Golden Highw ay (R553), a major north-south route that runs parallel to the N1 in the w est of Sedibeng, past Sebokeng and Evaton. • The R59 north-south route that links Alberton and Vereeniging and runs through the east of Midvaal past Meyerton. • The K89, a secondary route running parallel to the R59 linking Alberton and Vereeniging through Meyerton. This w as the main route until the R59 freeway was constructed in the 1980’s. • The R82 north-south route that links Johannesburg and Vereeniging via Walkerville and De Deur in the w est of Midvaal. • The R42, an east-w est route that links Meyerton w ith Heidelberg and the N17 in Ekurhuleni. • The R551, an east-w est route betw een the N1 and the Suikerbosrand Nature Reserve. This road merges w ith the R42 at the Nature Reserve. • The R550, an east-w est link betw een the N3, R59 and R82. • The R54 that links Vaal Marina in the south of Midvaal to the R82. 7.2.3 Local Road Network The existing road netw ork provides adequate connections betw een the north and south of Midvaal, but there is a lack of proper east-w est connections at regional level. The most significant existing routes and intersections at local level include: • The R82 north-south route that links Johannesburg and Vereeniging via Walkerville and De Deur in the w est of Midvaal. • The R557, an east-w est link betw een the R82 (Golf View A.H.) and R59 (Randvaal). SDM DITP, 2008 to 2013 102 31 Aug 2010
• The R558, an east-w est link betw een the N1/Golden Highw ay (Grasmere) and the R82 (Ohenimuri). • The R551, an east-w est link betw een the N1/Golden Highw ay (Stretford) and the R82 (De Deur). • The R551 (Weilback Road), an east-w est link betw een the R82 (De Deur) and the R59 (Meyerton). • Fourth Street: Although not located at an intersection of two high order roads, the most important intersection along the R82 is at the Midw ay Shopping Centre in Walkerville. The follow ing are proposed roads affecting the study area: • K154, an east-w est link betw een the N1 (Vlakfontein), R82 (Blignautsrus) and R59. • K158, an east-w est link betw een the N1 (Grasmere), R82 (Ohenimuri) and R59. • K210, an east-w est link betw een the N1 (Orange Farm), R82 (Balmoral Estates) and R59. • PWV18, a proposed east-w est freew ay betw een the N1 (Orange Farm), R82 (Golf View A.H.) and R59. The R59 is the highest order road in Midvaal and functions as a Mobility Spine that connects the City of Johannesburg w ith Vereeniging. Due to the linear development that has occurred along the R59 and several other aspects, the R59 has been earmarked as a development corridor w ith specific development guidelines. The R82 could be described as the second most important road in the Midvaal area which also provides a link betw een the City of Johannesburg and Vereeniging. It is not supported by a parallel route or railw ay line. Access is currently permitted directly from the R82 that impacts on the mobility of the road. The quality of the road is generally poor, w ith sight distances being below standard resulting in dangerous conditions. The road is used frequently on w eekends by people from Evaton and Sebokeng attending funerals in the region, causing severe traffic congestion, especially on the southern part of the road in De Deur. The intersection w ith the R558 from Grasmere and the section of the R82 through Walkerville are also accident hotspots. Most of the existing north-south linkages in the region are provided through high order roads, such as freeways, while the east-w est routes are mainly low er order routes. The overall condition of the higher order road netw ork in the region is good. 7.2.4 Framework Plan The follow ing objectives are set for the development of the R82 as an Activity Spine: • to promote development along the road in an orderly fashion; • to create specific areas of development opportunity for specific uses along the road; • to link disadvantaged residential complexes in the region to areas of opportunity; • to promote the use of public transport along the road; and • to stimulate local economic grow th and job creation.
