The R300 or Kuils River Freeway (also Cape Flats Freeway) is a Regional Route in the Cape Metropole, South Africa that connects Mitchells Plain with the N2, Kuils River, and the N1 at Bellville. The R300 is a freeway for its entire length; it forms part of the proposed Peninsula Expressway.[1][2][3]

Route[]

The R300 begins at the Stellenberg Interchange with the N1 between Bellville and Brackenfell and heads south bordering between both towns. It eventually borders between Bellville and Kuils River and borders between Delft and Blue Downs before intersecting with the N2 (Settlers Way) north of Mitchells Plain and Philippi. It then turns in a south-westerly direction between Mitchells Plain and Phillipi and ending at the intersection with the M7 in Mitchells Plain.
