R23 (South Africa)

The R23 is a regional route in South Africa that connects Standerton in Mpumalanga with Heidelberg in Gauteng. It provides a significant link between these towns and surrounding areas, facilitating transportation of goods and people. The route largely runs in a north-south direction, traversing primarily agricultural landscapes.

The R23 is maintained by the South African National Roads Agency (SANRAL), although responsibility for specific sections may fall under provincial or local authorities. The condition and maintenance of the R23 can vary depending on the specific section and the responsible authority. It serves as an important alternative route to national highways for local traffic and connects smaller towns to larger economic centers.
