The M2 road is a metropolitan route in the City of Tshwane in Gauteng, South Africa.

[1][2][3][4] The M2 starts at the Proefplaas interchange with the N1 highway (Pretoria Bypass) and the N4 highway (Maputo Corridor) in Pretoria East, just north of the Scientia suburb.

[6] At Arcadia, the M2 meets the M5 route (Hamilton Street; Steve Biko Road) and immediately afterwards, it meets the M3 route (Nelson Mandela Drive).

Just after the Pretoria CBD, the M2 reaches a junction, where it meets the southern terminus of the M1 route (Es'kia Mphahlele Drive) and the western terminus of the M6 route (Visagie Street), where it crosses into Pretoria West.

Then, the N4 was realigned on a new highway known as the Pretoria Bypass, which forms part of the Platinum Highway maintained by Bakwena,[7] in order for the city centre to be bypassed to the north and east.
