Residents of Orange Farm burnt tyres and placed rocks on main roads in the area on Wednesday, Johannesburg metro police said.
 
"It is not safe to venture into the area, especially for motorists, because rocks are all over the road," Chief Superintendent Wayne Minnaar said.
 
"Motorists are advised to use the N1 instead of the Golden Highway," he said.
 
The protesters had also placed rocks and burning tyres between Welgevonden Road and Palm Springs Mall. Minnaar said it was not clear why residents were protesting.
