It is bounded by major arterial routes including Jan Smuts Avenue and Bertha Street, providing direct road access to the M1 highway. The area is served by Gautrain bus routes, nearby Park Station for commuter rail and regional transit, and various minibus taxi networks, connecting the precinct to the wider metropolitan area, including Sandton, Midrand, and OR Tambo International Airport.
