Route
The M20 route begins in Chantelle, Akasia, at a junction with the R513 route (Rachel De Beer Street). It begins by heading northwards for 5 kilometres as Doreen Avenue, separating the suburb of Chantelle in the west from the suburb of Wonderpark in the east, to fly over the N4 highway (Platinum Highway; Pretoria Northern Bypass) and pass through The Orchards before reaching a junction with the R566 Route in the industrial suburb of Rosslyn.{{google maps|url=https://www.google.com/maps/dir/Doreen+Avenue+%26+R513,+Hartebeesthoek+303-Jr,+Akasia,+0201,+South+Africa/M20+%26+M21,+South+Africa/@-25.6067135,28.0234423,12z/data=!4m15!4m14!1m5!1m1!1s0x1ebfd75201c431bf:0x53de8ba8a383174c!2m2!1d28.100811!2d-25.6716626!1m5!1m1!1s0x1ebfcc2776751c6d:0x8d79dbf23223e795!2m2!1d28.017553!2d-25.5397803!3e0!5i1?entry=ttu|access-date=2022-09-28}}
