Route

The M39 route begins at a junction with the R101 Route (Old Warmbaths Road) about 2 kilometres north of Pyramid. It heads westwards for 12.5 kilometres to reach a t-junction with the M35 route. The M39 joins the M35 and they are one road northwards for 2 kilometres before the M39 becomes its own road westwards to enter the town of Soshanguve.[5]

After one kilometre, the M39 meets the northern terminus of the R80 Highway (Mabopane Highway) at a t-junction and turns to the north-west. It heads for 3 kilometres through Soshanguve to reach a junction with the M20 route, where it enters the township of Mabopane. It passes north-north-west through the north-eastern part of Mabopane and reaches a junction with the M44 route, where it enters Winterveld.[5]

It proceeds north-north-west from the M44 junction, meeting the M21 route and passing through Winterveld, to leave the City of Tshwane Metropolitan Municipality and enter the North West Province, where it passes through Mmakaunyana and ends at a junction just east of Lebalangwe and north-west of Moeka.[5]
